Built-in Jukebox Playlist Ideas

[Selzhanik]

I like the built-in Jukebox playlist feature, but I'd like to suggest a few ideas to improve it. Could you add the following features?
- Configurable minimum rating value to screen out less desirable tracks completely
- Configurable randomizer boost to increase the likelyhood of tracks being placed ahead in the random listing based on their rating values (i.e. 5 star tracks are more likely to be played before 3-star tracks, but I don't want 3-star tracks screened out completely)

I'd also like to see a "randomize tracks" option given to all playlists in general.

How tough would that be?

It is possible in r4 by using dynamic browsing

Thanks! I do see how to use dynamic browsing to screen tracks by rating then send those to the Juekbox randomizer, that's nice, I will use that.

Is there a way to boost the likelihood of playing tracks based on their rating, but not screen them out completely? Like 5-star tracks are twice as likely to be played as 3-star tracks, and so on?

And is there a way to randomize m3u playlists?

Random selection does this automatically, 5 star rated tracks will be played more than 1 star
