I like the idea of this. I would like to see what percentage (
prevscore + percentage ) is, but I believe the playcount is kept in
the sqlite database.

I would like to do some work or help with work on an extension
regarding this bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419844. I really like
the algorithm that Amarok uses for this purpose but I'm not sure
if it will be implementable in banshee as I'm not sure if the
required information is retained or available upon track change.
Here is the algorithm from Amarok in ruby:
if( playcount <= 0 ) # not supposed to be less, but what the hell.
newscore = ( prevscore + percentage ) / 2
else
newscore = ( ( prevscore * playcount ) + percentage ) / (
playcount + 1 )
end
This is not perfect but it does a nice job. There are other
algorithms out there to be played with though that also take into
account the users manual star rating.
What I would really like to know is if the devs think that this
will be possible with an extension. Are the proper variables
available to an extension upon a change of track? Any information
would be greatly appreciated.
Brian
