What do you listen to most often [feedback wanted]
bv1pacb:
Beats Per Minute? I tried just last week to help a young friend pick some music for his wedding reception, and tempo was the big problem. Everything I chose was either too fast or too slow, although maybe he was just too fussy.... Anyway, a Beats Per Minute feature would have helped to easily narrow things down.
ChrisRainman:
I like listening to songs I've not heard for a while. Of course, if they're new and rated high (I use my personal rate field from 1-10) I'm fine with listening to them a few times, but with every play the probability of listening to the track should reduce.
What I think would be great is a kind of "play frequency rate" that not only considers the last play date but the whole history of a song being played. A song being played last week, 1 year ago and 5 years ago should be rated higher than a song being played 3 times during the last few weeks - considering the same star rate. In theory with formulas it's already possible to create something similar except that play history is not available.
The main reason to have a more sophisticated "play frequency rate" is to prevent a nice new song not being played for years after having listened to it once.
Does this make sense?

1) One of the last few albums I've purchased / ripped
2) A shuffled genre (often 'Easy Listening' for background music)
3) A Play Doctor playlist seeded with an artist that sounds good (ie. 'George Winston' for easy listening, 'Duke' for jazz, etc.)
4) Some song (or songs) I'm addicted to at the moment, often on repeat

I usually want a dynamic playlist (#3) built off of #1.
DoubtingThomas:
I'm totally artist/album oriented. I have never used MC for video... I don't watch video...
I generally listen to all I have by an artist, select artist, add to playing now.
I never ever do random.
Being artist/album oriented... that is why I've requested MC17.exe (MC18.exe) commands for:
advance to next artist
advance to next album
gottwavo:
I mostly use MC for listening to music.
Before PlayDoctor was available I used Smartlists for all kind of selections. Mostly genre or a mix of genres and then selected two hours of music. I also select by BPM to only listen to more slow music e.g: slow and smooth jazz.
I now have switched to PlayDoctor and use it the same way like I used smartlists before. The advantage it plays longer and updates automatically when at the end.
Below is a screen shot of the PlayDoctor playlists and an example of a setting for "slow jazz smooth"
