Please report if you have any problems with the script. I'll try to fix them as soon as possible.

Ah, now I see. Seems like I tested it with a file shorter than 3 minutes, then.
Sounds like there is basically the same functionality as in Winamp, except you can't customize it ;)

I don't really know what a shoutcast is, so I don't understand why it has to be played completely, but it's nice to hear somebody is planning to work on it :)

@Bex
Thanks, now I can at least work my way up to more accurate statistics :)

@Big_Berny
AutoRateAccurate sounds fantastic, but it eats up my CPU if I enable it.
I will give it another shot over night.

Currently it works like this:

In MM3 there is increased playcount everytime the end of the played song is reached (and you listened at least 1 minute of the song or the song is shorter than 3 minutes). This behaviour (need to reach the end) is preferable in MM3 because of podcasts and audiobooks which need to be listened whole to be considered as played. I guess we are planning to imrove it somehow for the feature versions, something is already in our bug tracking system.

I thought its 33%?

My script AutoRateAccurate stores if you played for example 57% of a song and increases the playcounter as soon this counter reaches 100% (for example if you listen again 51% then the playcounter will increase, the timestamp set and it stores 8% for that song (as 57%+51% is 108%). But it's not a main feature of the script as it's basically a autorating-script.

Correction, a song gets a play if you play more then 50% of it and it reaches the end. Thus, you can start a song and only listen to five seconds and then skip to the end.

What a bummer... then I guess I will have to play the waiting game and hope for the best :)

Thanks for the fast reply!

Theres no way to change that at the moment. Its on the wishlist so hopefully MM can implement something similar.

Mark songs as played sooner?

Hi!

Right now, a song is marked as played in the break between two songs.
So I can start a song, skip 98% directly to the end and it counts as played.
When I listen to 98% of the song from the start and skip only the last 2% it does not count and hence gets no new timestamp.

Is there any way to count a song as soon as e.g. 70% have been played?

The latest Winamp does this pretty well.
You can set up the percentage of a song to be played until it's tracked whereas it doesn't matter which parts of the song you play.

To bad I like MM infinite times better than Winamp ;)

Long story short:
Is it possible? And if not, do you consider implementing it?
It surely would be awesome :)

Greetings, Murphy.
