I've noticed that with major compos (like Summer Chip), people tend to vote on the tracks linearly, that is, starting either from the top of the list (newest) or the bottom (oldest). The problem with this is that, for large chip battles, a lot of people don't have time to vote on all the tracks, so what happens is the first few and last few entries end up with more votes than the ones in the middle.

To fix this, we could have a button, next to the "previous entry" and "nextious entry" buttons, that simply brings the user to a random entry within the compo. That way, it's still easy to vote on a bunch of tracks in succession, but it's more randomized (I think this would make voting more fun too!) We can also add a feature that would make the jump only to a "non-voted-yet" (starred) track, for extra awesome ease of voting.

Comments welcomed!

And hopefully this thread won't get pushed off the home page too quickly by all the comments on the Summer Chip tracks ;)
