GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 141811
Automatic Playlist from Play Count
Last modified: 2005-08-23 17:41:34 UTC
I would like to see a capability to generate automatic playlists based on the contents of the Play Count column (both most- and least-played songs). personally, I would find this more useful than automatic playlists generated from song Rating.
You can achieve what you want by using automatic playlists together with automatic rating; automatic rating will give songs you listen to more often a higher rating.
This request is similar to item #137685, which is asking to play only songs that have never been played. This is the exact opposite of the behavior of giving frequently-listened-to songs higher ratings. I think that if the user could configure the automatic rating system to emphasize *either* frequently-listened songs or never-listened songs, both requests would be satisfied.

I know this one is rather different, but I don't want to open another bug for it. Add a "File Location" option to the "Create Automatic Playlist" -> The users could then create a playlist based on the directory/filesystem location.
Created attachment 33900 [details] [review] Add "Play Count" option to automatic playlists I wanted this, too, and it seemed simple enough. So here's a rough implementation of it. I don't claim to know what I'm doing (I've never looked at the Rhythmbox source code before), but it seems to work. And no, you can't really get this with "automatic rating" (AFAICT -- but that feature doesn't seem to be documented so it's possible I'm missing something). I don't see how else you could make a "Never played" playlist.

This is fixed by the patch attached to bug 132566
