Minimum Rating Playback

Not sure if there is a component that does this. 


If a user has a rating system for songs, it would use those ratings to discern whether foobar would play the file.

Example (based on a rating system of 5 stars):
All
*+
**+
***+
****+
*****

from a dropdown box.

Then, say Song A has a rating of ***, and Song B has no rating, but the selection is noted for '**+', then only Song A would be played back. Similarly if 'All' were selected, then both Song A & B would be played back.


Maybe a config box for how many stars people use for their rating schemes. Or even a customizable drop down box which can have themes (like the Playlists Dropdown component).

If it gets advanced enough, maybe a default location where the star images can be set for the graphics of the dropdown (kind of like how uTorrent skins).


I hope there is enough interest for a component like this.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but
you can create playlists from ratings easily with the Browser plugin.


If you want a plugin made, 99.9% of the time you're going to need grab the SDK and make it yourself.

I think the easiest way to do this would be with foo_skip. You could set it to skip songs below a certain rating, or  you could just start tagging the tracks you want skipped with the %skip% tag.

Thanks, I'll look into your suggestions. What is needed to make the component (tools, programs, guides)?

I guess it would be easier to use the foo_skip in a bunch of if-then statements then put them into a bunch of buttons. But as for the %skip% tag, doesn't seem viable to run though each album setting tags for each.

Yeah I use foo_skip, just write and have statements like greater > 4 etc etc.

Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

1. Use autoplaylist manager and QUERY "Rating GREATER N"

2. If you use ui_column - sort playlist by rating (left click on column "rating" header),  then select all songs with needed rating and randomize its. (Edit - Sort - Randomize)
