[Silver-007]

I mentioned this in a comment on one of the announcements, so I'll just copy/paste that here:
"Audiosurf's an amazing game. I have one complaint though: the scores necessary for the medals should not be based solely on what character you play as. It should also be based on the length of the song being played, and possibly its traffic as well. I played a song that had a rating of 407 and was 4 minutes long and got over 85,000 points, then I played a song that had a rating of 410 and was 2 minutes long and got around 36,000 points. I've also noticed that songs under 2 minutes long and with a rating below 225 tend to be impossible to get a gold medal on."
For example, it's impossible to get a score over 10,000 with any of the Elite characters on this song:

I agree entirely.  At first I thought it was a bug, but then I realized it wasn't.  If the medal requirements could be based on the song, that'd be great.

Hi--thanks! Yup we know the medals need tuning, and had hoped to get that in before today but there wasn't enough time.  We're thinking about basically making bronze easier to get and gold harder to get.
