Least played albums
« on: March 13, 2007, 05:16:48 AM »
First of all let me start by saying how much I love Rockbox. It's truly an outstanding piece of software and all of your developers putting in the good work - you get my eternal gratitude.  :D

As an avid music lover who spends most of his time listening to music at home and while commuting to, from and during work on my iAudiox5, Rockbox answers most of my needs. I say most, because I'm really missing one feature that could upgrade my listening experience from good to perfect. And if such feature already exists, please be so kind to point me in the right direction!

The issue is this - I have a really large music collection consisting of albums primarily, neatly organized with their ID3 tags in place. Usually, I'd like to listen to something I haven't listened to in a while. With the database option, I can choose the "never played" or "list (least) played" playlists - however that gives me a list of songs sorted alphabetically, not albums, and that kind of puts every song out of context.

What I'd really like is the same option only with "least played dirs" or "least played albums". Such a feature would be sublime.

My ideal situation would be that option, combined with a winamp plugin that adds the same runtime data to the rockbox database. That way I could listen at home, work or on the go and always have my database synchronized to my listening experience.

It sure beats random scrolling... What do you say?

In your tagnavi_custom.config file:

"Never played albums" -> album ? playcount == "0" -> title = "f_browse"
"Least played albums" -> album ? playcount < "3" -> title = "f_browse"

That's my custom formatting string, you could of course use your own...
%format "f_browse" "%02d - %s" tracknum title
