Hi all,

I'm looking for a freeware MP3 player (such as Winamp, ITunes, ...)
which automatically rates the songs I listen. The automatic rating
should be based on whether I skip this song or not. Ideally it should
also consider whether I skip a song immediately or only after listening
into it for a few seconds.

Here is an example with a rating of 1 (poor) to 5 (very good).

I really like the first song in my playlist, and therefore listen to
the complete song
--> it is automatically assigned a rating of 5

I kindof like the next song, but I skip to the next song after
listening about half of it, because it's not one of my favourites.
--> it is automatically assigned a rating of 3

I really don't like the next song, so I skip forward to the next song
after a few seconds.
--> it is automatically assigned a rating of 1

.... and so on ...

When playing my playlist in shuffle mode it should let me chose whether
it should consider the ratings or not. If yes, then it will mainly play
songs with a high rating.

Do you know any software player capable of this?

Thanks,
Michael
