Oh, it uses the rating, but please don't look at the code. Again, please don't look: it's ugly and probably doesn't do anything reasonable.
Don't worry, didn't look at it yet. The main problem with this is what people expect of it. I bet different people have different expected behaviors and matching that with parameters will be very hard.
That's the main problem, yes.
I wonder if other projects succeeded in doing this and how that went. I'm thinking eg. of a slider that you can pull to favor good songs, and options to eg. make unrated songs default to 3 (1=worse, 2=bad, 3=normal, 4=good, 5=favorite).
Unrated songs already default to 3 stars.
Or what about using stars and o's. So you have:
4 **** favorite 4 3 *** best 3 2 ** good 2 1 * ok 1 0 normal (unrated) 0 shft-1 o doable -1 shft-2 oo bad -2 shft-3 ooo worse -3 shft-4 oooo hate it -4
shift-1 = ! and so on, so these keybindings cannot work. The o's would be nice, though.
This would give a much better rating system that can be misused.
Of course this had to be: cannot be misused.
Except for the fact that there are 9 levels, I do not see any major difference to the current system.
