[QUOTE="staverton, post: 9338, member: 11205"] Hi all, I just want to ask a few questions on the viability of adding features, or ask as to whether they already exist in another form. I'm currenly looking at being able to rate songs then having them play randomly but with a better chance of them being picked based on their rating. On popping open the MP music database I can see there is an iRating field in the Song table. Is this ever used, (within MP)? I realise it's an ID3v2 tag entry, but this is just populated from the MP3s right? There is nothing to stop me from making a plugin that wrote this field (and probably the corresponding tag in the MP3 too), based on user input, and so when I start a random play of my songs, the 'better'' ones play more regularly. So, do any other MP plugins, or build in functionality provide this, and can anyone point out anything I might need to be aware of before I attempt to write this? Thanks! :D [/QUOTE]
