I think that the "thumbs up" vote should be separate from the possible "encore/repeat" vote. People probably vote thumbs up just to counteract other's thumbs down (inevitable once there are enough participants), then, if a track makes it through the battle without being skipped, an awkward situation is created when it starts looping but nobody wanted it to loop. As for the skipping situation, maybe if tracks started off with a default of one "thumbs up", then you would need at least two people to skip a track. Just one possible solution.
