Date and duration adjusted (DADA) auto-rating algorithm (DAR) for Foobar2000 v.1.1+
The DADA Auto-Rating algorithm (DAR) automatically rates music according to a variety of statistics collected by Foobar2000’s official “playback statistics” plugin.
If done well, an auto-rating algorithm will simply tell you what your favourite (and conversely, least favourite) music is, and the rating will be derived from and reflect actual listening behaviour. This is quite different from manual ratings (e.g. 1 – 5 stars set by the user), since there’s very often a disparity between what we’d like ourselves to like, and what we actually like. For those interested in uncovering their actual musical tastes, a good auto-rating formula can be quite illuminating.
