Can you rate music in RockBox?

riksweeney:
I never understand why people want to rate music on their players. Why would you have music on your player that you've rated 0 or 1 star? Why not just delete it?

I really can't picture someone one day deciding that they want to listen to the crappiest album they have...

bascule:
LOL :D

although, you may want to rate those that rise above your already high base level of quality

Well, what if your DAP has more than enough capacity to hold all your music? Also, the ratings are relative. Maybe a single star for me would be songs I like but don't need to listen to often. Or, I know people who flag songs with 1 star on their iPod if there's a problem with the song (bad encoding) or if they spot a tagging problem they want to fix.

I'm sure a fully functional version will be included soon.

Not quite true, if you have the option General Settings>File View>Tag Cache>Gather Runtime Data (experimental) set to on, Rockbox calculates an autoscore based on the average length of time a track has been listened to.

So if you listened to a track right through (100%) then listened again, but skipped to the next track at 90% through, the track would have an autoscore of 95.

These stats are available through the ID3 file view options Best tracks and List played tracks.

Best tracks lists tracks that have been played twice or more and have an autoscore of greater than 60.
List played tracks lists all tracks ever played with autoscore and playcount displayed

Thanks bascule, I haven't really played ariound with scoring enough to undersatnd it fully. Perhaps you could put your description on the wiki. ;)  If not i'll give it a go later on if I get time.

bascule:
Yeah, I'll put in the Wiki, but it may not be until late this weekend :)
