I like the idea of the automatic ratings. I've been using it a little bit, but I'm not sure how to accomplish what I'd like to do. I'm not even sure it's possible.

I have my scale set to use 1-10 stars. I have the default rating set to 5 stars. If an unrated song is played and it finishes, it gets five stars. I know that the Dynamic Ratings feature will increase or decrease a song's rating. Here's what I'd like to know whether it's possible and, if so, how to configure it.

If a rated song plays and completes, do not change its rating. If an unrated song plays and completes, assign it five stars. If an unrated song is skipped, assign it two stars.

The Dynamic Ratings feature almost does what I want, except that it also increases ratings on songs that complete. If there were a way to disable it from increasing the rating (and only decreasing the rating of skipped songs), I would have what I want.

Is this possible?

No, not in the current version.
At the moment I've no spare time to look into this but patches are always welcome if someone wants to try to implement it.

I'm not a developer/programmer, so I wouldn't even begin to know how to provide a patch. I can only provide feature requests. :-)

Thanks, Erland.
