autorateaccurate ratings [can't understand]

[zzxantrax07]

i used the autorateaccurate script but this are what i got.
i used it on "Custom 1 field"

0000 MR 2009/10/31 0 AutoRateAccurate 06
0000 MR 2009/08/01 0 AutoRateAccurate 06...

what does it mean?

The field is really only used by the mod for its own calculations so you don't absolutely need to know what all the numbers mean. Over time it will score things like how often you listen to the track, skip it, etc. It needs to store this information somewhere so that it can calculate your favourite tracks.

However to take away some of the mystery: (take this example)
0002 AR 000146906541925 16/06/2009 135 AutoRateAccurate 05

--- 0002 - number of times you've skipped the song
--- AR - let AutoRateAccurate rate the song (alternatives are MR - you've set a Manual Rating which overrides the autorate, and BR - Base Rating, which means you haven't played the song yet and there is no play count information)
--- 000146906541925 - a calculated value - the higher it is the more you play the song - this is what is used to actual workout the rating
--- 16/06/2009 - the date you first played the song
--- 135 - how many seconds the song has been played WITHOUT listening to the end of it - if you listen to 90 seconds of a song and then move on it will write 90 here, if you then play another 90 seconds it will add that to 180 - if the song is 180 seconds long it will add one complete play to the Played # field and reset the counter (note: if you have crossfade on in MM or skip silence then it's likely you will always miss a little bit of the end of a song so over time you will see values here even if you always think you listen to whole songs)
--- AutoRateAccurate 05 - version info

Hope that helps a little - really you can just ignore this and let the mod get on with the dirty work of rating your songs based on the above info.

By the way if you have MR in that field and you don't want to override ARA then select the track and Rating and set to 'Unknown' so that ARA can take over the rating field.
