Capturing Ratings from iPods

4:54 pm

Here’s a copy of a message I just posted to the iPod Developers’ mailing list:

Here’s a whacko idea just to think about for the time being. The
iPod, iTunes and perhaps other players allow listeners to rate
tracks. It’s a 1-5 stars thing on the Apple products.

Would’t it be cool if there was a way to transmit those ratings back
to the podcaster as a form of automated feedback?

I’ve spent no time thinking about the implementation or the
implications, but thought I’d just throw the raw idea out to the list
for comment.

  1. Shoulnd’t that be doable with a few lines of AppleScript?
