Linux: Tweak Amarok score algorithm

Amarok Score Algorithm

I just started using the Amarok music player, having decided to ditch Rhythmbox due to its lack of features. I was interested in finding out how the the scoring algorithms worked in Amarok so naturally I hit up google for my quest of knowledge. What I found is that the default algorithm is very basic and just doesn't quite cut it. But not to fear, the scoring system uses a python script that is easily editable... w00t!

I was about to come up with my own algorithm when I came across This KarperWorld Post where he put together a very nice scoring algorithm. I modified the default score script with his algorithm and it seems to work great! If you want a little bit smarter of an algorithm for rating your music in Amorok, I would recommend checking it out.
