Originally it was planned to extend stickers for other types too +(and documentation even claims it does), but this hasn't happened yet. +So what clerk does is to associate an album rating with first file of an album, +to keep the database clean and duplicate-free. +It's a somewhat ugly workaround, but it works pretty good. + +Also mpd deletes stickers instantly, when files move or get renamed. +For this reason I keep flat files in directory of the album for both track and +album ratings. With those files and a tiny bash script it's possible to rebuild +the sticker database in very little time. |
