The ever improving playlist shuffle

Peleus · 15th September 2002, 19:08

I'd like to suggest the following feature and I'm curious if other people would like it too:
-for every song in a playlist there is a 'popularity' value between 1 and 10 (non-popular to popular)
-if the + (play it more) button is pressed when the song is heard the 'popularity value is upped, if the - (play it less) button is pressed popularity goes down, startvalue is 5.
-based on the popularity value winamp determines the likeliness to play the song within shuffle play

This way you get a kind of ever improving playlist. Connected to a remote control this feature would really rock.

That's a really good idea.

You could also register every time the user skips to the next song, which would indicate that the current song isn't popular and thus should be played less.
