Description HairMetalAddict 2006-12-03 13:42:59 UTC

Version:           SVN061203 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Ratings have been around long enough for this...

For Smart Playlists, the Order By -> Random option gives options for:

- Completely Random
- Score Weighted

Being a having Rating user, I'd like to see a third option for "Rating Weighted". 

Allowing for a high number of 5.0 tracks, a bit less of 4.5, less of 4... down to (almost) never played 1.0 tracks.

Essentially similar to Score Weighted, just using Ratings instead.



(Was considering an option for this to limit it to ratings higher than "x" to not play unrated/1.0 or whatever tracks, but that can be done with a filter, so not applicable.)
