Are you by any chance > playing oggs? Not a bad guess, but I am in fact playing both mp3s and oggs. The info is kept while I'm in the same dir, (the song is still buffered perhaps?). If I play a file, rate it, forward to the next, and then rewind back, the playcount is 2 and the rating is whatever I set it to. As soon as I stop, however, the info disappears. > I _do_ think that the runtimedb code should be fixed to do a poor man's > approach in case there's no hash in the tagdb, since it'll be a pain to > always keep up the songdb prograams up to date with the recent codecs etc. > > Or possibly we should make songdb.pl add a hash on the file name for the > cases we don't yet have hashes based on audio data.

In my opinion, the C version should be the priority, since it has the best potential for being portable (keeping a perl runtime environment is sortof a hassle for some people, and don't even get me started on Java) and it could probably also be included in a gui app relatively easily. -- Jonas H rasher(at)rasher(dot)dk -- I'm using Free software to post this.
