True, doing it with links would cut out on the redundancy but it would
create a big hassle. Someone could literally have to create thousands
of links.
create thousands of links or check thousands of checkboxes... I think the only way to get the desired functionality without doing some sort of manual sorting is to bring in multiple users and rating, then have each user rate out the music they don't like; problem is that this takes forever, and will still produce mistakes (like when you accidentally zap a song you like using the remote).
At the end of the day, sorting and rating your music is a manual task, no matter what program you use to do it with, because you have to make the decision (or review the program's decision). This is why my Slimserver now has 14,299 tracks, because I can't deal with sorting out and archiving the stuff I don't listen to any more.
