Input from Matt, for Vista installation.
-----
On Vista, the extra security does not allow you to simply double click the vbs file to install. Here are the steps to install:
- close MediaMonkey
- Start > Programs > Accessories
- Right click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
- cd to the directory with the install
- run "cscript INSTALLNAME.vbs"
- Script will be installed. Start MediaMonkey
Otherwise you get a "Permission denied" error message.

Thank you Matt.

Old script for Rating 'catch-up' use
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... &start=284
Changes in version 5.0
- A lot of attention is given to make sure it works in all sorts of situations, and configurations. Hopefully that part is nailed well in this version.
- Gone from 'real time' to 'player time', which allow rating of first ever song played after restarting of MediaMonkey, and also the last one in an ending play list.
- A song is considered played when MediaMonkey consider it played, AND the player time position is after 'Skip Monitor Percentage'
- Songs rated lower than 'Skip at first play' rate will get a 'slow recovery' rating by being upgraded to closest whole star up.
This # of minutes part can be tweaked, by going to the AutoRateSongsOptionSheet.vbs and change the values in the very top of the script.
Based on a co-operation with fellow Monkeys, this turned out to be the model for rating.
Here's a nice link for Voices http://www.bytecool.com/voices.htm
This script requires SAPI5 to work with the Radio Announcer.
Description
Skip monitor If skipped within set period, the song loose half a star ratings
Start after X seconds in player time. This allow you a period to sample song. No rating consideration will be done at all if the song is skipped within these seconds.
Stop at XX percent of the song in player time. This is due to an end of skip period is needed, and the basic idea is also that if you've put up with most of the song, it's not that bad.
Ignore < XX second songs is there to do nothing with tiny sound clips, interludes and stuff like that.
Ignore Mood/Occation songs is there to allow people who have special mood/occation files to be left untouched.
Time Stamp to Custom2 This write a Time Stamp formatted like "DayOfWeek TimeOfDay Season" only when a song receive a Rating Upgrade. Basic idea is to make it easy to find favorites in these time segments.
Northern Hemisphere is there to get the seasons right in above time stamp. If Southern, do not have this one ticked.
