Musium

Musium is an attempt to track album scores based on your track ratings.

This is the article that inspired me to create this: https://isthishowyoupop.com/album-scores-and-how-they-work/

The Forumla

$\lfloor \left (\left (\frac{Sum of track ratings}{Total Number of Tracks} \cdot 10 \right ) + Album Bonus \right ) \cdot 10 \rfloor$

Track Ratings

• 1 - A track that comes to mind when you think of the album, you love this track.
• .75 - A good track from the album, you like this track.
• .5 - A track that you would only listen to when listening to the album, you may consider this track "filler"
• 0 - A track you would never want to listen to again.

Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt

Config

• dbpath (Required) - The directory your Musium.db is stored. If one doesn't exist in this path it will be created.
• bonus (Required) - Extra points added to an album with the logic that if every track on an album was a track you liked, it would be ~80. Default is .5, I have my changed to .15

Commands
