I'm not one to really care much about rating music; my mood changes and I rarely can state that one favorite song is objectively better than another. However, the formula used makes sense and it's been a delight to see what it determines to be my favorites. I feel a little giddy each time I run AutoRate, often "rooting" for my favorite "horse" that day.
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.
I have to say I've been VERY satisfied with this virtualization software in regards to Windows XP. The updates have been responsive to any issues I may have had (especially the networking). I'm sure that there are many apps that may have troubles within this VM, but I've yet to come across them. I mostly use this for webpage checking and software required by college (such as PASS and Office 2003).
Hint: to have a faster XP, make your own install disk with nlite to remove what you don't need and slipstream the service packs and updates. Further, turn off all the graphics effects (make it look like 2000). There are a few decent sites out there with tweaking information. You'll be surprised how fast you can make XP run once you've cut the bloat.
