concept of the day: peer-reviewed netlabel

the idea here is to take the practice of peer-reviewed publishing known from academic journals and apply it to a netaudio label. a pool of competent authors (i.e., artists, musicians themselves) judge a pool of submitted songs for inclusion in a compilation. an editor would assign multiple reviewers to each song, and each reviewer would receive a subset of the submitted tracks. note that this is different from collaborative filtering where the audience expresses preferences for already published material. issues to resolve include: anonymous submissions, (?); other aspects that may be translated: invited papers, book reviews. the netaudio competitions hosted by (ref?) and soulseek already incorporate some of the aspects of a peer reviewed netaudio journal.
