Hello,

I'm trying to develop a script who copy a part of your collection in a specific directory.

The main objective is to copy your favorite part of your collection in your mp3 player, in case of that your collection is bigger than your player capacity.

I know that Amarok can create a playlist with favorite songs, but I'd like to know what's the policy of a prefered song in Amarok 2.

In Amarok 1.4, I think it's when the score of the song is more than 74 (default score after 1 playing of the song), bug it seems to be more complicated in Amarok 2 (the Statistics table contains score and rating field, I don't know what it's mean).

Thanks for your help and excuse for my english...

After looking the source code (BiaisedSolver.cpp and some others), the function for making favorite playlists seems to be very complex for a simple script...

But I'd just like to know what's the policy about rating and score fields in the database.

Thanks.

So, that's the policy I've chosen for the first version of my plugin :

Specify a score limit, default at 60.

Select all songs with score >= 60 ordered by score
Select all songs who don't listed in statistics table (it's the songs who have been never readed) ordered by random
Select all songs with score < 60 ordered by score

This list of songs define an order of songs, favorite first.

If you have a better policy to do that, I'm interested !

This sounds like a great idea! I used to have a 'favourites' folder for this function.  But I had to manually update it which was a hassle.


PS Your English is fine except for your spelling of 'favourite'.  Don't miss out the 'u' or people will think you are American!

I've released a first version, if you want to test
