Thanks for a great app! Any ideas on how to have this running in the background?

Wow. Great app, it seems. Hopefully that windows version doesn’t wrack your brain too hard ;)

I just wanted to say how much I love this app. This is the kind of behind the scenes learning that makes computers useful. I don't have time to rate each song in relation to every other song, especially when I'd much rather be listening to it. Plus I may really like a song when I first buy it, but then after six months get sick of it, only to find six months later I really like it. The whole point of a large library of songs is to be surprised with what you already like.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you not only for this nice little app, but more importantly for releasing its source. As a Mac and Linux user, I've noticed that growth in the Mac developer community is really slow because any person with Xcode and a little Cocoa app asks for $20 for their closed-source "shareware." You set a really good example for the kind of work the Mac community needs to grow.

Hi, Jeremy – Yes, I’m afraid there is a limit. I’ve had reports from other users that somewhere around 23,000 tracks causes problems. The timeout happens while asking iTunes for the contents of the playlist. I’ve just looked into it further, and it turns out there’s a way to extend the timeout. Give me a little while and I’ll release an update.

Awesome app. Worked on one MacPro with 3500 songs flawlessly, however on a G5 i get an “applescript event timed out” error. Could it be a (much) larger library size causing this? Is there a limit to the size of the iTunes library that your app will work with?

Then wait no more… Head over to http://atastypixel.com/blog/software/autorate and grab v1.2. Then edit Rate Now.scpt and set the playlist/hide options.

Ah, well done, Jarad. I'm just adding to the Rate Now script the ability to select a playlist - while I'm at it, I'm adding a couple features to AutoRate.

Give me a couple minutes, I'll release a script that does all those things =)

Got the cron job working.

In addition to telling the app to run on the "Music" library, is there also any way to tell the app to run in the background instead of a visible window?

I can't seem to get the cron job to run. I changed the time to 9PM (21) since I am using a MacBook. Should I see the app run when the cron job runs?

Also, how could I edit the script so that it runs it on "Music" instead of "Entire Library?"
