An extremely smart "radio-station-like" playlist

I managed to put together an auto-rating "smart radio station" - songs' ratings are automagically up- and downgraded depending on how often you play a song and how often you skip it.

To pull this off, I needed 15 smart playlists, 1 regular old playlist and 2 AppleScripts (one permanently running in the background), the other one called by a shell script which in turn is executed weekly by Anacron.

If you're curious, I wrote up a detailed description here:

Enjoy!
