There seems to be a limit to how often you can add a song to the global playlist. But this limit is not documented as far as I can tell.

How often can I put something objectionable and irritatingamazing and awesome into the playlist?
Pretty sure the limit is one song at a time, so as soon as your song finishes playing you can add another.

We limit to 1 song on the playlist per user otherwise it would be a lot longer than 6 hours 45 minutes that it is now.
Before today, it was 2 per listener, but then the playlist rarely got over 2 hours long.

We may switch to a different system where it's about amount of time rather than number of songs, but that's the future.

If you're talking about how long it is before you can add the same dong again, it's about three days or something I think. But if you're running into problems like that, then you really need to expand your musical tastes!

Something I don't understand about the search:

When you search an artist's name, and then click on the name that comes up, it gives you a list of every song from the discography, and you can add all of them to the playlist.

But... if the songs haven't been uploaded yet, then what are you adding?

Edit: solved, thanks, VVVVVVV.

And thanks again for this super service! I am enjoying the playlist.

The only songs that appear in the search are the ones that have been uploaded (and properly tagged). Thus the rule to search first before uploading: if it's there, it's been uploaded.

and it's a very important rule because even if you think you have the most obscure taste in the world, there's a good chance that at least some of what you want to upload is already there.

No, this makes sense and it's a good precaution. It'd be good to have it say as much on the site, or (especially) give you a message if you try to add another song but aren't allowed, that says why... so certain idiots who shall remain nameless don't sit there thinking they're adding three or four songs when actually they've only added one.

Ahem. :doh:

Have you tried clicking on the upload tab on the left hand side menu? It lists your last ten uploads, we're getting a fair few 500 errors at the moment because we've massively increased the number of active users/page views etc.

If they don't show you could try the FTP which is normally faster and less buggy, but may require a restart to recognise you if you are one of our new users. (It was last restarted a couple of hours ago).

Any problems join us in IRC and we can hopefully troubleshoot you in real time.

Edit: yes m4a is a no-no, at the moment we only accept mp3, afaik this is not likely to change.

Edit^2: stop editing your post!

You should get a message at the top of the page in yellow, but it disappears after a couple seconds.

Low votes don't affect anything. Aside from the aforementioned reasons, I can only think of one dong that was banned for reasons of taste: that dong had a recorded interview with a paedophile child-killer where he discussed in detail his previous "conquests": even then most people were not happy with it being banned.

A mod can correct me if I'm wrong, but the dong length that's acceptable has been increased to 11 minutes. Anything longer than that is banned, however a special request to play a banned dong can be put in to a mod.

This was confirmed by Dominus_Vobiscum and epsilonplus on IRC:

<Biiaru>: songs over 10 minutes are still autobanned, right? it's been months since i've been on here
<nwds>: I just posted in the SA thread asking for confirmation, but I think dong limits have been increased to 11 minutes. c/d
<Biiaru>: oh
<Biiaru>: songs over 10 minutes can still be unbanned manually by the admins right? i forget how that works
<epsilonplus>: they can be unbanned, yeah
<Dominus_Vobiscum>: nwds: c
<Biiaru>: real question is "would they" though
<Dominus_Vobiscum>: Biiaru: if the playlist isn't too long, they'll unban real long dongs
