Edit: Please see the official AutoRate product page for the latest version
Hot on the heels of 1.4.1, AutoRate 1.4.2 has just been released. It has a drawer instead of a separate preference pane, and the playlist selection has moved down there.
In addition, I’ve again tweaked the ratings – as there’s now a setting to select between play frequency and play counts, there appears to be little need for a log transform to hack the ratings (in fact, it caused problems for my library). So, it’s gone – let me know how it goes.
Hey there.
Could you perhaps in a future version include the possibility to “protect” certain songs from being rated by Auto Rate?
I have some songs, that I think are absolute classics, but I don’t play them as often as other songs, and I want them to have top ratings anyway. These songs should be “protected”. Get it?
Hmm, yes, that could be quite useful.
I think the next version of Autorate will run all the time, in the menu bar; there may be a way to tell when users rate tracks in itunes, and mark those tracks as read-only for Autorate…
I’ll look into it =) Cheers
Very Good.
If you rate those ‘classic’ albums manually you could just click the ‘only set ratings for unrated tracks’ box.
I’d like to see this as an itunes plugin, i want it to just run without me knowing it and have my ratings change live as i played songs.
I like that icon you have for the coming soon. Makes me want to come back.
