Former Winamp user, now fully switched over to the goodness that is foobar2000! I'm looking for some help in finding plugins for the following:

1. Get current system date and time as a variable. I'd like to be able to set my extended playlist queries for "everything that has not been played in the past n days" and similar searches. I saw the plugin for timestamping files when they're added, but how do I go about getting current system time?
2. A feature request for QuickTag - please make available some option that makes the current rating for a file visible from the QuickTag popup menu!

Can any one of the gurus here help me out?

Thanks,
Steve

I'll love also that, but it seems that there's no way of getting current system date as a variable crying.gif

You can display your rating via strings (%rating%).
Killmaster
foo_playcount can timestamp your files with metadata, as well as keep track of how many times you've played them.

Well, I may just have to try my hand at making a plugin. Never tried C++ before (just JScript and C#), so it may be a while. I'll report if I make any headway.

Thanks!
