Hi there --

I really like JuK -- it's growing on me nicely.  In fact, I just gave it a good \
review on my weblog, for what good that'll do ;) -- \
http://taint.org/2004/02/29/223534a.html 

One wishlist I've had for mp3 players for a while, is rating support, ie:

- user selects their "rating" for the song, e.g. using a 5-star system (a la iTunes, \
Rhythmbox, Netflix, Amazon etc.)

- rating is saved as metadata somewhere

- JuK then has a dynamic playlist, which will play all songs in the collection (or \
from another playlist, even better), selected by rating:

- low-rating (1 star or less?) never get played

- high-rating songs are more likely to be played (reports from various m3u-generating \
rating hack scripts seem to indicate that a non-linear scale for this works nicely.)

BTW it's probable that allowing those parameters to be tweaked, would be even better; \
for example some people may prefer that low-rating songs *are* played, just very \
infrequently.  I probably wouldn't, as I have plenty of albums where 3 of the tracks \
are great but I really don't want to hear the rest of them, but I wouldn't want to \
delete them from my collection outright (just in case).

I've tried to do something like this myself, but with a lot of mp3s, it really needs \
a good interface for editing the ratings, and I'm terrible at writing GUIs.  However, \
JuK *is* a really good interface for mp3 tagging ;)

Any plans to add something like this?
