Maybe I brought this already, but it would be nice to have a way to upload info such as the time spent listening to an album, it would be complementary to the rating in the sense that albums only listened to a few times show a less accurate score.
it would come in five levels :
- not listened to yet,
- once by bits
- one full spin
- several times
- many times across the years

I hope my picture linking will work in order to illustrate my bullet list


(yes I know that touches the database and needs even more ressource, i'm just imagining it)

speaking about the ratings, we could have a pool of fresh ratings, and another one for mature reflexion. Like the "countless times" can be used 2 months after the first listen. These replayability stats are also interesting on their own as a non-subjective metric.

Neat designs! Is this meant for just personal displaying or does it form a public aggregate? Is it meant to be used to weight certain ratings?

It can be only personal in the first time. I proposed this system because it would help my way of using metal storm. Every week I'm browsing new releases, so there are those which I'm interested in, I'm just adding them to my collection temporarily. Then those I quickly dismiss, either because they're bad, or good but don't interest me. And then amongst a bunch of albums rated from 7 to 9 it happens that I'll come back to some very often, while others are just left in the dust. This information can go public too.

As for the rating wheighting, it seems clear to me that a rating attributed to an album not even completed is unfair, so these could be weighted down. I'm not the only one throwing bad grades on day 1, sometimes tanking the album. The problem with this system is that people who did not engage with the album are more likely to have rated badly, and people who listened to it countless times are more likely to rate it super good. So it would advantage the good ratings, but at least we would see a difference between an album no one was interested in, one that was good but quickly forgotten, one that may be rated lower but a lot of people are coming back to.

Next idea off my hat : display the mean score (over the ratings that you gave) of a band next to their name (or in the info tab), so when you browse the new releases you don't accidentaly pick the same lame band you listened and rated 5 and forgot for the third time.

This or have a custom blacklist for users.

Oh boy!
