And it's not like this is the only possible time we are able to donate to charities; that's always available.

Maybe back in 2012, when all the musicians actually stuck together. Nowadays we've got out own music cliques and a whole bunch of e-famous musicians that won't bother to hang out with us, "lesser subscribed simpletons."
I don't really vote for either. I feel these albums have done nothing but create a further divide amonst the music community. Plus, the sad truth is that the money has to have some sort of priority funding, and I can't see the funding covering a relatively unknown artist as long as there's bigger names on the waiting list.
I don't think it should be for a general charity either. I don't want the great community efforts like Smile! or Seeds of Kindness being lumped in with the generally one-sided popularity contests that have been the past albums.
Perhaps if we had a more fair judging system that's less vague on their quality standards AND only allowed people who are actually active in the music community to participate? I'm personally sick of seeing big names breaking off from their stretch of doing non-pony music and ZERO participation in the brony community to suddenly rise from the grave and write their one pony song for this annual album, then request funds to go to a convention so they can bask in their own glory and ignore all the other musicians.

The winners don't necessarily need to be the ones with the most epikz awsomz beatz, but they can be the ones who make quality songs and are active in the community.

And you have no idea how hard FiMMusic is working on this business.

I understand that this album will be a good traffic booster for MLR and the music community, though, so the album should probably still happen. If the proceeds aren't used for charity or bringing musicians to cons, what do you think they should be used for?
