What do you prefer in a file

[hi19hi19]

Serious questions:

Of the following, which do you prefer most in regards to the difficulty curve:
- Completely consistent difficulty throughout
- Patches of areas that are roughly the same difficulty, with breaks in between
- One or two very clear "hard parts" that define the difficulty of the file

In files with clear hard parts do you prefer:
- Difficult parts near the start of the file
- Difficult parts near the end of the file

Of the following, which do you prefer most in regards to song length:
- Short files (sub-1:30 long)
- DDR/ITG-length files (1:30 to 2:30 min)
- Long play files (2:30-5 minutes)
- Marathons (5 min+)

How much does the genre of the music influence how much you like the file?
(i.e. how much do you "hear" the song vs just treating the song as a rhythmic basis for hitting the arrows)

What makes a file fun for you? (intentionally a very open-ended question)




Answer when it comes to files that you enjoy, at your difficulty level (i.e. stuff that you can read and PA but not easily AAA)
I'm genuinely curious and hopefully I'll get responses from a wide array of skill levels.
