Request
This is the Request icon used to request songs. Every visitor to the website can make 5 song requests per hour. These requests are played approximately 1 hour, or longer, after the request has been made (Due to randomization in the radio station software and Internet radio regulations).

Time Until Request Available
This icon replaces the Request icons when a song is not available for request due to being recently played or requested. If you hover your mouse over the icon, the time left until available for request will display in an info popup.
Hover over icon for example.
Quick Play Request
This is the Quick Play Request icon to quick play request the song. When someone becomes a registered member of the site, they are allowed 1 Quick Play (QP) Request per day. Requests made using the QuickPlay buttons are played much quicker. As members become more active on the site, they earn more QPs. The main way to earn more QPs is through posting on the forum to get promoted to higher levels. 50 posts are required to reach the second level, 100 posts for the third level, 250 for 4th and 500 for the 5th (highest) level. QPs can also be obtained through donations to the station. Click here for more info. This feature is for "Dead For Life" members only.

Review This Album
Next to the album art on each "Album" page (that you have not rated), you will see the Review This Album button. Click it to rate the album from 1 to 5 Skulls. You will also see the fields to write an album review but it is not required to rate an album. Just click the skull representing your rating and then hit the "Submit" button. Once you have rated or written a review for that album, you will no longer see the Review This Album button for that album. This feature is for "Dead For Life" members only..
The Ratings icon shows the rating of each album. The average rating is displayed by the amount of Skulls filled in. If you hover over the Skulls, it will show the average rating out of five and then show how many people have rated it in parenthesis. The rating can be seen on the album pages next to the album art. If the album has not been rated, "Dead For Life" members will see "Be the first to rate this album" next to the album art on the "Album" page and non members will see "This album has not been rated".
Hover over icon for example.
