I assumed the name was self-explanatory. They would work the same way as the current scoreboards, but sort by skill rating instead of score.

The "skillboards" in theory would be optimal, but then people would start complaining about the fairness between the tracks since they wouldn't be the same, therefore yielding pretty much the same problem we have now.

The same problem, but with a much smaller magnitude.

Trying to explain the difference between skill and score to the masses isn't something that will be easy though

And they should! But failing that, the top lists should at least take into account that they are different.

Just because there is no perfect solution doesn't mean you shouldn't try to find the best one.

Limiting file format and bitrate is just getting silly. This is a casual game.

I think the best way would be Audiosurf making its own database from the scanned waveforms/tracks, not on basis of filenames. It would take some processing power but it can't be that much these days. If audiosurf can't find a match it should ask you which version you played, or by who this track is.. and then it compares waverforms so it can check that you don't cheat..
I think this is the most ideal but I don't know how hard this is to program.

this is why audiosurf needs to also read what album the song come off of as well!
