Rockbox mail archiveSubject: RatingsRatings
From: Brent Coutts <c0utta_at_hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 10:28:23 +1030 Hi guys, All my ID3 tags are rated on a scale of 0 – 255 using the Popularimeter tag (POPM) although for practical purposes the ratings are 0 (not rated), 51 (1), 102 (2), 153 (3), 204 (4), 255 (5). I then use a VB application to read the ID3’s and create a playlist which creates 1 – 5 entries for MP3 in the playlist. A rating 1 will appear once, and a rating 5 will appear 5 times. This works well and allows me to listen to songs I like more often than those I don’t. Since I may have multiple entries per MP3, I’ve now hit the 20000 barrier in playlists and I was wondering if there was any other way to achieve my ends – i.e. my higher rating songs get played more often. I’ve done enough maths at Uni to understand the Mersenne Twister, but I can’t see that this can be modified to have one entry per MP3 but allow the rating to influence the frequency – sort of defeats the purpose of the whole concept of the Twister anyway. Will I chew up too much memory if I run my own build of Rockbox and increase the maximum playlist size to 50000 ? Are there any other ways that people can think of?
