To just give some feedback about it (it may matter or not since it's not coming back for a while, but...): It worked fine for me, albeit a bit slow sometimes. The main two issues I had with it was: * Once the rating had been manually adjusted, it would stop doing auto-rating instead of regarding it as an redefinition of a starting point for the auto-rating of that track. * Sometimes I just wanted to skip the track without "punishing" it because I didn't link it, but just because I wasn't in the mood. Having two "Next Track" buttons would have been silly though, so yeah.. the auto-rating stuff is a hard problem.
