Are the items below the UI elements that need to be visible for each track?
1. Song rating
- Number or row of Star icons?
- Range?
2. Play count
- Number or row of tick marks indicating popularity?
- Range
I see there is also a mechanism for uploading titles to last.fm/libre.fm. Are these services still popular?
- Yes. The rating should be shown for all songs in the playlist. Using that, one will be able to quickly remove or reorder the playlist as per the listener's taste.
- Using star icons is most common. We can have a row of 5 stars with ability to mark half a star. That would allow people to rate songs from 1 to 10. But even without having the ability to mark half a star is fine (in which case song will have rating from 1 to 5)
- For play count, showing a number appears to be more intuitive and helpful. We can have a limit. anything > 99 will show as > 99. Else we will not be able to limit the width of the play count in the UI and we could probably mess the UI. But since I don't have a idea how the programming works in the UI, I'm not sure what is the right thing to do here. Or it could be some image that is shown indicating that the song has been played often.
- last.fm is a social thing. I personally don't care for it, but I have enabled it just for the heck of it. But when you start scrobbling, the stats it shows on the site reveal what kind of music you listen more often, etc. I'm not sure how many would really want this service.
