Just as an addition to that, put in a flag for each song and when it's voted on, flag it.
Have your querry only pull unvoted songs up in the random order. Once all of them get voted on, clear all the flags. This will allow for randomness and still make sure that every song gets voted on an equal number of times (if that's important to you).

When they click on a button, it records the vote and shows the next song. Display the songs in a random order (random for each session, not the same random list for everyone). Rank would be based on yes votes/total votes for that particular song. They may get tired after 20, but since it is random, all the songs should get around the same level of exposure. -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:248575 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
