Thank you [b]Ludek[/b].

[quote="trixmoto"]I notice that [url=http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/ISDBSongData::SkipCount]SkipCount[/url] has appeared as a property (for MM4) but will there be an "OnTrackSkipped" or similar event added as well?[/quote]

Thanks Trixmoto, added to http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=6246

No wonder I was confused, I keep checking for the Alpha release, but haven't seen anything yet, any ideas on when it might pop out for testing?

awesome, just noticed this thread.

can't wait for mm 4 to open beta

This is not a script. This new feature will be available in the next release of MediaMonkey.

The Alpha/Beta/RC testing is open to all. However, development on 4.0 is still in it's early stages, and thus won't reach Alpha stage for some time, I wager. When it does, builds will be posted in the [url=http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6]MediaMonkey Beta Testing[/url] forum, where you would then be free to download the test builds and do all the testing you want.

Woot!

[quote] 1. Add new columns/fields '#Skipped', 'Last Skipped'
2. Add these fields to advanced queries and auto-playlists
3. Add the fields as new scripting properties to ISDBSongData COM interface. [/quote]

I think that's pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. :)

Plllleeeaseee Skip Count!

I am 100% on board with this, in fact I have posted the autorate accurate script to multiple forums to see if anyone can help us add this option. I am thinking it is as simple as pulling out the piece of code that gets the skip count then add some code that ports it to another custom field, wish I was a little better at vbs.

Add me to the list. I would love to see this feature added to mediamonkey.

I can see why this would be all that difficult to implement with the possible compatibility issues with portable players, and the way they store this information.
****Not to mention that apple is constantly adding barriers against 3rd party applications.

Perhaps, we could make Autorate Accurate read skip counts from a custom field, or something. Does anyone understand how ipods/iphones store this information [i](and want to explain it to me?) :wink: [/i] Atleast, point me in the right direction of where i can find information on this.

Hopefully, we can figure a way to get this working. Anyone willing to give it a go, please let me know if there is anyway i can help! I have serveral generations of ipod, including an iphone 3g and ipod touch 1g. I am willing to provide any files needed from these devices.
Thanks.

I have seen posts about implementing the skip count a while ago and thought it was evident that it is a useful enough feature to have been working on for a coming release.

I use an iPod Shuffle 3G and the only way of "tagging" or manipulating songs in the DB is by either playing them in full or skipping them before 20 s have played. Most of my automatic playlists uses skip count, last skipped timestamp, play count and last played timestamp. Because this is such an important part of my music management and listening experience with the little Shuffle I have not gotten to the point in my frustration with iTunes to migrate to MediaMonkey yet - one little (very important to me) feature.

So, I just wanted to add my voice to the others in saying if this feature is implemented in MM it would not be in vein.
