Well I'm glad this script is now working for you. The debug mode will undoutedly help other people as well, so it's a positive thing anyway!

unplayed: all tracks from the album have to be unplayed to count as unplayed?

Yes, any single played track on the album should stop it from being selected.

Hi!

Thanks for the explanation! Now i can set it up properly

If i understood it correctly then memory only shows what saved?
Maybe change capacity to Memory slots. It makes more sense since they are relates IMHO.

One thing i've noticed thou is that for some reason it picks very often the same songs from an album. Even with min. rating set to 0.

What i'd like to ask is if it could calculate the avg played count per album and play all the tracks that are below that average until they reach average. If all songs are average times played then it should pick any song and after that do the average thing again

This would also help people to hear through their whole collections

Is it also able to make Earliest a relative age? Like X month or X weeks.

Thx,
Red

Your idea about the average play count is interesting. It goes against the idea of the script, which is to hear whole albums in order, but then so did the "3 in 1" mode that was requested so I'll certainly look at added this option for you.

I will add options to set earliest in a relative way - this certainly sounds sensible!

What is the difference between "0" and "Unknown"? Which one would I set it to to ignore this rule?

I like the idea of average play count as well to help find less played albums. I have inherited a couple of large colections so I have many albums with maybe only a track or two played via random selection but would like to get the whole album played. So this would help.

Thanks,
Jeff

@fizzjob - 0 is Bomb, Unknown is -1.

@kazadharri - it's on my list!

i think 'unrated' would be a better description than 'unknown'

also, any plans for a MM3 release of auto album dj?

I used "Unknown" to be consistent with MM. Once MM3 has reached beta and the database structure has stabalised then I will invest some time in updated as many of my scripts as possible to be MM3 compatible.

I think you can use the new Auto-DJ Scripts framework for Auto-Album DJ...

cool - any ideas when release 4 is due?

trixmoto · Post by **trixmoto** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:09 am

This script will not be able to be replicated using that new alpha 4 functionality (no idea when the release of it will be). This is because the new script type allows the scripter to select a single track to be queued next, whereas this script queues all the tracks in the album.

So the devs could be asked to add this functionality...

Yes it would be really great to be able to enqueue multiple songs since this could also result in less internet traffic if you get data from some server

And your script would not need to run that which is nice if it takes some time > 1s to get songs to enqueue
