Media player that allows you to rate songs?
I searched for a while, but couldn't really find anything on this topic. I'm surprised it hasn't been asked before. So in an effort to help the next guy who may have this question, I'll try and use as many keywords as possible

What media player (mp3, ogg, etc.) will allow me to give a rating (similiar to the star function on Windows media player) to songs. Someone mentioned WMP10 allowed ratings.. and even let you sync it up with your PC. But I couldn't find it, and if possible.. I'd like to avoid using WMP10

So does anyone have any ideas.. preferably a mp3 player that's VGA compatible?

WMP10 only allows syncing of ratings with some devices - not including PPCs. But WMP10.1 (to ship with WM2005) will include this function. Don't know if this will be enough to outweigh forkyfork's dislike of WMP10 though! (or whether the upgrade will be available for WM2003SE users as well as on new devices).

I am not a fan of anything WMP. I am anxiously waiting for Winamp for PPC

I have the x51v, WMP10, ActiveSync 4.1. I've used WMP10 to create 2 playlists. I synced the playlists. I then updated some ratings on my PPC, and some on my PC. I synced several times, and neither have propagated. None of my PPC changes went to my PC, and vice versa. Anyone gotten this to work? I'm using MP3s that were ripped using my WMP10 player.

I use the ratings in WMP (PC) to determine what songs get synched.

4 star songs (I use to sync whole albums)
5 star somgs are custom "hits playlist"

Then WMP will sync the files to the PPC... but to go from PPC to Windows, I don't think so

Playlist Song Lists Not Syncing

not a huge concern there, i was just curious. seems like something that should work.

bigger concern that i've found: I have two play lists both have about 10 songs (i'm currently syncing to BIS). I have both custom lists set to sync automatically. I synced the lists, so now the songs are both on my PC, and my PPC. I them removed one of the songs from one of the lists on my PC. I hit the sync button. The sync removed the song file from my PPC, but it left the reference on the playlist. shouldn't the playlists be synchronized as well? anyone else noticed, or can replicate this bug?

a weird thing I just noticed: if I delete a playlist entry or file from my PPC but not my PC, running a sync will replace it. If I delete a playlist entry from my PC, it will remove the file from my PPC, but not the playlist entry. AGH

Here is a program that might suit your needs. It will let you make playlists on your ppc. I know that isn't exactly what you are looking for but.... http://www.handango.com/PlatformProd...12040&R=112040

I'll let the users at Aximsite in on a secret... We are working on our new Database within The Core Pocket Media Player.

Without making it a 6 page white paper post... i'll break it down in very simple terms:

Our DB is called 'CoreTheque' it has a frontend and a backend DB.. the frontend DB is managed by TCPMP and asks to be updated when you start/close or insert TCPMP into your device (TCPMP now has an autorun feature that allows you to 'carry' not only TCPMP.. but your DB along with you. No matter what the device, PDA, Palm and soon Symbian... TRUE PORTABILITY!)

There is naturally more to the Db then that... but the bigger thing is that... we have created a unique scrollable management GUI..... it is unlike any other 'hardware' based media player and is the FIRST software media player to manage media like this.

And to that point and why I am posting here is that... it also includes 'RATINGS' integrated into the DB... and yes there is also the possibilty of syncing to iTUNEs for your 'personal' ratings ;-)

Heres a code peak....

Code:
static struct CT_TableList ct_table_list[] =
{
	{"CTContent",       "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT"},
	{"CTSubContent",    "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ParentID INTEGER, ContentOrder INTEGER(2)"}, /* a SubContent is a Content with a parent */
	{"CTContentSet",    "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Level INTEGER(1), Year INTEGER(2), Rating INTEGER(1)"},
	{"CTName",          "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Name TEXT"},
	{"CTLocation",      "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Location TEXT UNIQUE"},
	{"CTArtists",       "ArtistID   INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, Artist TEXT UNIQUE"},
	{"CTContentArtist", "ContentID  INTEGER, ArtistID INTEGER"},
	{"CTFormats",       "FormatID   INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, Format TEXT UNIQUE"},
	{"CTContentFormat", "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, FormatID INTEGER"},
	{"CTGenres",        "GenreID    INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, Genre TEXT UNIQUE"},
	{"CTContentGenre",  "ContentID  INTEGER, GenreID INTEGER"},
	{"CTVersion",       "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Version TEXT UNIQUE"},
	{"CTComment",       "ContentID  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Comment TEXT UNIQUE"},
};

/*! strings to define elements of the DB */
#define CT_STRING_CONTENT      "Content"
#define CT_STRING_ARTIST       "Artist"
#define CT_STRING_ALBUM        "Album"
#define CT_STRING_GENRE        "Genre"
#define CT_STRING_YEAR         "Year"
#define CT_STRING_URL          "Location"
#define CT_STRING_DISPLAYNAME  "Name"
#define CT_STRING_VERSIONNAME  "Version"
#define CT_STRING_COMMENT      "Comment"
#define CT_STRING_RATING       "Rating"

static int ct_table_found(void* cookie,int num,char** key, char**value)
{

betaboy,

That is absolutely AWESOME! Can you give any kind of ETA for when your described features will be available?

I'd definitely add "Primary MP3 player" (in lieu of my iPod) to my X50v's list of things it does.

Thanks!
