GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 638966
Score should also be influenced by play count

Banshee automatically determining track score based on playing or skipping is a very good feature. I feel the current measure is not optimal, though. Currently, the measure works out to the sum of play percentages divided by the number of total plays. This means that a song that the user has completely listened to once has the same score as a song the user has listened to completely ten times, and a higher score than a song the user has listened to fifty times but skipped once; however, the user clearly likes the latter two songs better. One solution would be to divide by total number of plays + 1; this way each complete play (at least for quite some time) would raise the score.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
