Capturing Ratings from iPods   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1440 of 7710 |

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.

You say "yes there would be some cheating but people will know once they listen to a couple if it's been completly over rated." This is the sort of thing I...

I can think of a few ways to avoid cheating, the easiest of which is to use the same persistent key for lots of things -- reporting subscriptions, reporting...
