Dude, v20 LAN appeared to be kinder unorganised. The competitions I did not hear or where not presented as well as they should. People were also getting up all over the place receiving prizes? Still had a fantastic time.

Music is something we will never win at. Not because we suck at choosing music, but because there are 400 different people with 400 different tastes in music. We have tried a variety of different styles at Respawn; the only constant is that people always complain that the music was horrible. The difference this LAN was that there were a few (not many, just a few) people who said they liked the music.

With this in mind, we tend to keep the music at a quiet background noise level - was it too loud? The PA volume is forever getting changed for announcements and such, so regulating the music level is occasionally forgotten.

We also picked the music this LAN because it is generic. It wasn't a niche genre (dubstep, classical, etc). It lacked, for the most part, vocals, which makes it less distracting. It was part of a large compilation of background music, put together for this sort of environment.

That being said, you're welcome to suggest alternative approaches to the problem (this goes for any issues ), just keep in mind that just because you like the music does not guarantee everyone will like it.

tl;dr: 400 people, 400 music tastes, we can't please everyone.

Hmm perhaps something on the intranet which allows people to upload a song and add it to a queue??

I like the idea =D! Two main prob though I can think of, one being legitimacy of files being uploaded, and secondly, what if someone uploads a track of just orgasm sounds =S..? would need a way to check every song being uploaded..

Just in case, to evade any copyright infringement (lol again like anyone cares anyhow, but for even organizers you gotta be careful how you go about it), it could still work if they provided a huge list of songs that were available from a wide range of styles - without any information to suggest whether the source is legitimate, but we'll assume it is - whereby people will be able to vote for songs on the EMS (intranet/electronic management system)..
