@BlueHammer85 - My additional suggestion would be to not have an unbalanced draw where you get down to 5 entries and then one is eliminated on a technicality.
If you aim to have 160 entries again, the first round should feature 32 matches with all other songs getting a bye:-
R1 - 160 songs, 32 matches, 96 songs get a byte to R2
R2 - 128 songs, 64 matches
R3 - 64 songs, 32 matches
R4 - 32 songs, 16 matches
R5 - 16 songs, 8 matches
QF - 8 songs, 4 matches
SF - 4 songs, 2 matches
F - 2 songs, 1 match
on R1, is it unfair to the 64 songs that didn't get a bye?
