This is my low-tech way of updating ratings for what I listen to in SC, maybe it will be an option for you. I use J River Media Center to do my tagging, but I think you could apply this for whatever tagger you use.
First, I installed Philip Meyer's Playlist Manager Plugin: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39371 Now, when I hear a song that I want to change the rating of, I use this plugin to add it to a playlist--either Rate Up or Rate Down--depending on what I want to do. With the plugin, you do press and hold "add" and it will prompt you for a playlist to add the song to, instead of the default behavior of putting it in Zapped Songs. The nice thing is, you can use it on any song in playing now so it does not have to be the currently playing song. This creates standard M3u playlists which I can later import into my music program and adjust the ratings every week or so. Then I delete the songs from those playlists and save the empty playlists back out to the SC playlist directory. The tag changes I made will get picked up on the next custom scan. More automated would definitely be better, but if most of your songs are already rated and you just make minor tweaks now and then, it's not too much trouble to do it this way. -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52765 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
