[ID3 Dev] requested feature

[kermit blue]

that's an interesting feature.
but what i'm thinking of is something that would carry over into programs 
like itunes & winamp the same way that things like genre already do.
also, i'm thinking of ratings that you yourself do as a one-time decision; 
the process you pointed to would take a lot of time to develop the ratings & 
only takes one factor (repetition of play) into account.

thanks for the reply
