I think allmusic.com or amazon.com are your best bet, but I haven't seen any software that would retreive the rating information from these sites. The problem is to retreive the ratings from the web, when you have the ratings there are several tools available to set the ratings in slimserver, tagging the music or where ever you want them.
Another problem is that these sites don't rate tracks they rate albums, so all tracks on an album would get the same rating. There is also http://www.last.fm, but it doesn't have ratings it have statistics about number of times a track has been listen to. Are you a developer who are ready to do some development work to retreive the ratings from these sites ? If you aren't I would suggest that you try to set the ratings manually on per artist or per album level. I am not sure exactly which tools that make this possible. I know the TrackStat plugin can do it on per album level with slimserver but with that solution you will have to click 4-5 times per album, so that might not be the optimal solution. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25790 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
