RatingPlayMode

Hi there,

i have been using musicbee for a long time, it’s doing great. thanks

Idea 1.
the reason why i write is about a feature that would be nice to have. some albums have songs that are not my taste, but i still like to listen them now and then. so i think a feature that lets me choose to play songs above 1 or 2 stars rating (adjustable), but follows the song numbers as usual.
For now, i can sort it from 5 to 1 star but then it’s getting messy since it sorts different albums together. a feature would make things easy.  
the feature is meant to jump 1 song a head. maybe an option to give it a specific amount of time, like 1 -5s would be great for songs, that were connected in flow but would not fit the melody after a jump.
  
Idea2.
For rating, it’s been tricky. At the bottom, there is a short popup, can it be transformed so rating can be done there directly if wished by the user. (taskbar popup, and preview popup down right) for now I need to go to musicbee and do it there. That slows my work down a bit.  

Another thing:
sometime musicbee keeps silent when i use other software that uses asio output etc... you might want to look into, it won’t output any music since it says output not available or so. i don’t remember very well, can there be a way to configure audio output from within musicbee? So it claims the output back.

Friendly regards joel

not sure if its exactly what you want but check out playlist mixers on the wiki

hi Steven, i have tested this and it is fairly complicated. i cannot make it to produce the result i am looking for,

let’s say i open musicbee, interpret: (Bryan Adams) i have 5 albums, with each about 10 songs. this is now seen in the middle.
the way it works is when i double press on song 21 all the 50 songs get added to the playlist. that is fine.

here is where rating mode coms into play. all songs rated below 1 star are not added to the playlist. so that would make 45 songs.



your idea has not ben satisfying since now the playlist contains also other interprets, but if i choose James Blunt first in the interpret section, then its James Blunt i want.

thanks
