Couldn't you just use a proportional method that elects sequentially? That sounds like the sort of thing you're after.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll briefly describe my method to make 
my goal clear:

I want to avoid aggregating all votes in a tally, because I think that 
loses information. Specifically, I would like a method that can find a 
representative ranking. I.e. if I want the top 10 songs, it should 
reflect the preferences of everyone, but not only contain electronic 
music because a majority likes that.
When I you do the simple Schulze ranking (not STV) I find it 
over-represents certain groups because they essentially can vote more 
than once.
I think once their preference is (partially) included their voting 
strength should lessen, but with a tally their vote can not be removed 
(reduced) since it's all agglomerated.
