Nevermind...I figured it out. Nice simple script..thanks!

How do you get this to work? I copied the code and saved as radiofreemonkey.vbs and put it in the auto under scripts folder. When opening MM< I can not seem to find it. Thanks much for any assistance you can provide!

I love the script. Enjoying even as I write this. but is there any way to make an unrated song get the same wieghting as one with three stars. I just havent had time to rate a lot of good songs that I would like this script to incorporate.

I'm on my friends PC, and I get an error message:

"Error happened during script execution:
Could not start Windows scripting control (msscript.ocx). You can install it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/."

What do I have to do? Please help...

PS: My friend's pc is running on Windows Home Edition SP2...

Hi Risser,

that sounds good, I look forward to use your script. I use the latest Version ov VBScript.
The source of the problem could be, that I don't have much songs with ratings yet. Maybe this causes a kind of miscalculation ?

by **Risser** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 10:05 am

Okay, the weightings can reach negative. Every time you play a song, it sinks in the ratings a notch. So, if you have a song you've rated 5 stars, but have played it 12 times, it will actually be a -2. This is to keep the same superstar songs from being over-repeated.

However, I counteract this with an increase based on the amount of time the song has been in your library. For every 30 days, it gets a +1. So if you had the same song in your library for 9 months, it'd actually weight in at about a 7.

So, if you have stuff you've just added, but have played a ton, you will have a lot of -ve stuff. You can adjust this behavior by setting the ReduceIfPlayed variable to false.

Oh, except I see that it's not actually used. Whoops.
I'll fix that.

It only picks songs that have a weighted rating > 0 and haven't been played for 24 hours (this is adjustable). So, the fact that only 4 songs show up means that there were only 4 valid songs to play.

As for the Left exception, I don't know what to say. You may need a newer version of VBScript, as I have no idea why that's happening.

However, I can write the script without using it, so I'll make an adjustment.

I too have negative weightings. They reach from 8 to -9. The RadioList shows only 4 songs instead of 20. If I play them and try to generate a new playlist, I get the error postet above.

Same error for me when opening the RadioList node..

Btw. weightings are displayed as -3..0, so negative numbers- not sure this is expected?

Cheers,
Andi

Hi,

after installing the script I got the following error :

Code: Select all

Error 5 - Runtime Errir in Microsoft VBScript
Illegal procedure call or invalid argument: 'Left'
File: "D:\Programs\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\RadioFreeMonkey.vbs", Line 128, Column: 3

Any suggestions ?

P.

Hey Risser, this script is fantastic!

Instead of scrolling long-long songs list, why don't let the computer choose the music you love most and make a playable radio-like list... It's magic.

Thank you a lot.

Thanks for this script Risser. I've been using it for awhile now and it's all I use now. How hard would it be to add a grouping variable by artist that end user could set? Like two for tuesdays or blocks of the same artist. If you set the variable to 3 it would select 3 tracks from the same artist before moving on to the next artist.

Thanks for the consideration!

What a sweet script. Thanks for your effort!

I get error number 1032: "Invalid Character Line:1, Column:0. " and then the script doesn't load. But it is copied identical to what you have in the forum. Is it because there is a space before the script?

by **gtbuzz** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 6:09 pm

Not a big deal, but is there any way to make it just list songs that are currently accessible?

Excellent script - I love it!
