Both approaches would be quite straighttforward to implement, but might have some compromises - not sure.

- A completely new 'entry of the month' system, running in parallel to ratings and favourites.

I'm assuming that, when you say 'which songs posted on a month the users like more' that this feature only needs to work with new entries in the month. Can someone nominate an old entry this month? If so, what do we do at the end of the month - do we discard the old ratings and start again, or is the system supposed to keep track of the historic winners also?

i've noticed that my users do not use the favourite system so much...but they often rate them...so i think that the 'extra' based on the LDM ratings system would be the best solution.

you have reached the point: at the beginning of the month we, the admins, have to look only for the ratings given in the last month (an old entry can't be nominated) but the system i supposed to keep track of the historic winner and also of the rating given the month before.

when you have some time, can you give it a look? thanks
