Your rating: Now say why...
AutoRate application automatically sets the rating for selected tracks in your iTunes library according to how often each track is played, and how often each track is skipped relative to the rest of your library.
It uses a 10 bin normal cumulative distribution based histogram to automatically scale the ratings so that the mean rating is ~3. Optionally you can use a linear scale with manual shift, scale factor and mid range skewing.
Both the track play count & skip count are used in conjunction with the length of time each track has been in your library to determine, on

When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean? ie… is there a list of playlists to choose from, you select one, and it ignores your selection? Or do you mean that there are no options in the list, or what?
I am pretty sure that I sorted out handling these list names independent of interface language so I am confused. Please provide more information.

I'm using Mac OS 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.0.2 with the Russian localization. In iTunes, I use a playlist only with English names or numbers, such as "Music New" or "2009-11-05". In AutoRate not active window with a list of choice in the "Rate tracks in" and "Analyse statistics from track in", located in the "Prefernces ..." - "General" - they are just gray and not react to mouse clicks.
In version AutoRate 1.5.2 everything works fine.
If you could take screen shots it would help. Something like this:

Version 1.5.3 runs on both Leopard and Snow Leopard just fine. I am not saying you don't have a problem, just that it isn't because of 10.6.
What exactly is the problem and/or error message? Try version 1.5.4+ and if you still have the problem, please let me know. I made some significant changes in 1.5.4, particularly in the area of support for other locales. In 1.5.3 and older, the software would reference playlists b name , ie: "Movies" which is not the case for systems running with locales other than English (US) or English (Canada) . This should be fixed now, amoung other things.

i.e. I hate half stars, so I turned that off, simple.
Nice one, finally rated all my tracks, and the one's I listen to most are rated higher. From there you could use a smart playlist to contain only 4 and 5 star rated tracks.

It would be fun if it could also generate reports for tracking favorites' trends over time. Perhaps there exists a social/music site that this could integrate with in that respect, but I'd be even happier if it could just create spreadsheet or database reports. In other words, it would be neat to see how songs stand in my own little test of time.
Overall, it's a neat little script; simple and interesting to use. Anyone who doesn't bother to rate their music collection in iTunes should give it a try: it won't hurt and you'll probably get a kick out of the results.
Thanks!

I get an error -1712 (Apple Event timed out) while loading the Playlists.
It says i should report it to the developer, which is what i'm doing right now. ;)
