Personally I see no reason to do anything particularly complicated. I mean.. even though there is some weighting and stuff in the CSDb voting, we already got a lot of votes here (no need to vote again -- I wouldn't like to go through all the tunes once again for sure!) and a whole bunch of comments as well. Why not simply set a deadline and base the results on the CSDb vote scores at that date/time?
(and the weighting is perhaps not actually a bad thing either, even though I am unsure exactly what it does to the scores.)
Can't see that the results would be any more or less fair with some other kind of voting system than the one which has already been used by people? |

(I just tried cut/pasting the table of entries from the compo page at CSDb straight into an excel sheet and sorting it on basis of the CSDb scores. Took me literally less than a minute to generate a nicely sorted list of entries on basis of score.) |

I would appreciate 2 features.
Simple javascript sorter of table here at csdb. (that's quite easy to implement with jquery and some "sort-table" plugin)
other thing.. it's kinda tiresome to browse through all entries for a single compo to read comments. it would be nice to have some sort of.. "click here to read comments" (will open in sort of thickbox popup).

Yeah - I agree with all these last statements
so ill just set a voting deadline then - like originally planned.
One thing though -I agree there's a s%@^load of tunes to go through - but the more complex tunes, I've been through several times in order to be able to "get them" at all
so if everybody just listens to each tune once, it's kinda like Eurovision

in a manner of Stellan, i'll put my top 3 up.
1. Close, but no cigar (c) Hein
humming it daily since it got released. no contest, really. from the draxish, pseudo-reverberated lead, through all those cool chord changes (_all_ chord changes, indeed), to the simple but so effective arrangement... flawless. and the chorus is killing me way beyond any explanation.
2. I sail at midnight (c) Linus
of course - it sounds so powerful you have no choice but obey. that Canterbury progrock comment of the author tickled me nicely too. even though i don't know shit about Canterbury scene except Soft Machine and Robert Wyatt ;)
3. Higher scores (c) Frantic
well, i'm rather ignorant in the serial domain, but this reminds me of Webern's piano variations somehow. this or not, here i can spot lots of inspiring solutions i haven't heard frequently in my entire life, and that is always welcome. Psycho likes it too! \o/ |

Dane, thanks for your comments. Glad you liked it. I do agree more action in the arpeggio channel would be nice, however I just wanted to finish the tune quickly. If I had started fiddling more with it I would probably grow tired of the tune and never finish it :) |

Speaking of ranking the tunes...
Why not just take all the voting data into an excel sheet, skip the weighting and add a few decimals? The rounding of numbers here on CSDB makes several tunes end up on the same score while in reality none of the tunes has got the same score.
I did it just now to see what it would look like, and after sorting the results I can see that the tune on first place has got an average of 8,555555556 while the tune on tenth place has got an average of 8,266666667. There are 0,008385744 points seperating number one and number two :) |
