I concur. The more diversification, the more intersting the data becomes. December 30th is the deadline. There's ample time.

I had a hard time picking 50 last time, getting to 100 will be a challenge. In looking at what I would put on my list (based on my listening habits), I'll be off in my own little world again having the devomaniacs and tha_farfetchs opining on my supposed lack of musical taste.

I will come up with something though.

I noticed a couple of page 2 entries using numbering, etc. Maybe Blir's rules should be placed up in the original post--so people see it clearly?

<br>[quote]Originally posted by MikeP
[br]A couple points to iron out:

1) How to weigh the results?

2) Who will do the number-crunchin'?
[/quote]
A couple of comments that might help you Mike. I think Freewave and I figured out that parsing out the lists to tabulate is a BITCH! Standardized formats will help immensely:

1. No Numbers in front your selections - they'll just have to parsed out anyway
2. No Spaces between your selections - ditto above
3. "Name" - "Song" - the order shouldn't change, mega ditto to above
4. You want a common seperator between "Name - Song", preferably a hyphen, not a comma, colon, or whatever else (trust me, this is a biggie)
5. Proper Spelling is an absolute - if you're going to use a pivot table to help sort the data, wrong spelling fucks it all up.

This might all seem pretty anal, but it's an impossible amount of data to manually tabulate.

Oh, and 6, if you want help tabulating, I'd be glad too...but then I get to pick the point system. You can't go about this willy-nilly! [8D]
