The Bomb Symbol For 0 Rated Songs [#19522]

Post by antrophe »

Hi there,

Im using the new MM5 and think its great, just one thing though. As someone who filters a lot of music for using in DJ sets and on a radio show, I'd often use 0 rating as a hotkey to add a bomb to tracks that I thought really stood out (as we say in Dublin as "bangers"...) - it was a great visual aid when making playlists.

Where has it gone and how do I get it back???

It would be up to the Skin as to how this is displayed. I'm not sure any MediaMonkey 5 Skin uses the bomb image for 0 stars.

Hi antrophe,

quite a few other people share your disappointment, see here
They did a poll. 72% of people asked for it to be reinstated into MM5. Based upon small volume of people though, since not many people read this forum.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

Bomb rating is now available as an addon: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... b-ratings/
Please note that it requires MediaMonkey 5.0.3+.

I uploaded many addons to MM's addon page, but not all of those were created by me. "By drakinite, Submitted by drakinite" means I made it on my own time. "By Ventis Media, Inc., Submitted by drakinite" means it may have been made by me or another MediaMonkey developer, so instead of crediting/thanking me, please thank the team. You can still ask me for support on any of our addons.

No problem :)
Many of the addons credited as Ventis Media, Inc. but uploaded by myself were made by other members of the team (it feels kinda awkward to me when people give me credit for those), but this time it actually was me. :wink:

FYI: Uploaded version 1.0.1 of the addon which fixed the bomb rating not appearing on the Rating column of the column filter.
I'm aware that the bomb also does not appear in the "My Rating" submenu when you right click a track, but that change will be significantly more complex to implement. Saving it for later; tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19531
