Hi!!
Nice Post. It’s the same i do!! I actually do it for keeping all the songs of my library with almost the same times heared. I was really happy until i tried Amarok2. I couldn’t find this feature. It has, of course, dynamic playlists. But i can’t find how to tell him i don’t wanna hear songs with less tan 4 weeks heard. I know it’s still a beta release but, do you know if it is possible right know?

Thanks in advance…

I tried this with Amarok 1.4.8 with the exception that I only want songs with a rating above 2.5 but the Dynamic Playlist that uses this Smart Playlist does not work.

The Dynamic Playlist appears to select songs of any rating and freezes Amarok while it is populating the playlist.

I even tried moving the “Rating is greater than 2.5 – OK” from “Match Any” to “Match All”.

[...] think it is time to introduce my SoC student to Planet KDE I blogged about dynamic playlists some time ago. Thanks to Google Summer of Code Daniel is going to do some magic work on dynamic [...]

Thanks for the tip, but I tried that, and it didn't work. It would probably work if you have the same number of songs in each category. But I don't, I have much more average songs, then high rated songs. For the fun of it I loaded my stats in Matlab to do a bit of analysis. You can read it at my blog entry about Matlab & Amarok

casper, see the first (and only ) tip in the walkthrough – you can make it choose higher rated/scored tracks automatically. whether it provides the same proportions your current setup does – that i do not know.

Hi. I just read about this blog post and liked the idea very much. A copy of your setup is driving my amarok now. Thanks a lot for posting.

playlists suck…album listeners for the win!

Great! For some reason I had totally missed this feature, and wondered how to customize that “50 random tracks” playlist.

Thanks for the tip, and now I have yet another reason to stick to my opinion that Amarok beats the living daylights out of every other audioplayer on the planet!
