Plus I’ll be wanting to throw some Christmas music in there. Given the holidays coming up which may mean that I don’t spend as much time playing my music off of my computer, this playlist could last me through the end of the year. When I loaded in the “Various Artists” artist into my playlist I ended up with 4 days and 10.5 hours of music. This should help make my dynamic playlists more accurate.
A few songs now have a score of 5 rather than 0, which is good since it signifies I skipped it on the first listen. This would have the added bonus of giving all the songs scores as I either listened or skipped. I wouldn’t necessarily listen to all the songs, but I’d play all the songs. Convinced that the Amarok guys had finally fixed things, I decided I’d go through my entire music collection again. I tried to switch to a “haven’t played in three months” playlist, but a lot of my music had an undefined last played date because of the last time the database was corrupted. In November I started off with the same playlist as in October. (Mostly just Five Iron Frenzy, Save Ferris, No Doubt, and the Orange County Supertones – who are an OK ska band – I mostly like their least ska songs) Although I really enjoy ska, I got into it rather late so I don’t have very much ska music. A lot of my new music came from Jamendo when I got an email with the month’s most popular songs and I decided to do a search for ska. That’s completely random so I end up hearing some songs I didn’t even remember ever acquiring. I also spent some chunks of time listening to my music on random on Google Music. Given how little time I have to listen to music nowadays I might go for the 90 days.
I’m not sure if I want to make the date large enough that I only hear songs once per quarter or my standard two week waiting period. Now that I’ve listened to a good chunk of my library since the last time the Amarok database was corrupted I may modify the playlist to include the caveat that it couldn’t have been played in the last x days. So it gave me a nice mix of music including forgotten favorites. After that, if I skipped it just once it would fall out of the group. Any song that I listened to only once would fit in the third category. Throughout the month of October I alternated between listening to newly acquired music (of which I had quite a bit) and a dynamic playlist that was weighted so that most of the music had auto-ratings above 90, less music above 75, and even less above 50.
