Some songs will get high score from this run. If they are poor, I will skip them on other runs. > I'd think you'd end up skewing the results. Nobody claims those results are to be perfect. But having used amarok for quite a long time, I can say that ratings which resulted are fairly reasonable.

Tried a few times. No, I won't work on rating my songs, if I do not like one, pressing (>>|) multimedia key is just enough work, and if I like one, I won't bother locating something to click ;-) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Marcin Kasperski | A process that is too complex will fail. | http://mekk.waw.pl | (Booch) | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
