Description: I love amarok. I especially like the "Append Suggestions" mode which puts tracks similar to the ones I'm listening to on the playlist.
I don't, however, like every song in my playlist. So sometimes I end up listening to music I don't want to. This is an approximation of a solution. It will skip songs that match a tag field (artist,album,etc.) plus a given regular expression.
This script uses regular expressions and DCOP to automatically switch to the next song. By default, the script looks in ~/.amarok.blacklist but this can be adjusted in the script.
More information can be found in the included README.
If you don't like every song on your playlist, then why have them there? I have this odd habit of only putting songs I like on my playlists.
Strange eh?
What? You use playlists?
I find this useful because I use full collection random and suggest. My collection is big enough that this is fun. However, I don't want my audio books or sound effect collection to play while I'm working.
Ciao!
This is a feature I was much missing in Amarok.
I tend to collect things by albums, but not all of the tracks on album are always worth listening to, and a lot of the time there are one or two inordinately profane songs that I'd like to skip.
Simply deleting them makes re-tagging etc. a major pain. Plus, I'm sentimental about having everything, even if I don't want to listen to it all.
What would be really handy for me would be if this could integrated with the burning plugin so that I could burn albums that corresponded with my blacklist.
