psuedocode: bool isFavorite, bool hateSong ()

Asked by another anonomous

hey, i sometimes accidently hate, and ban songs..
possible rewrite (psuedoccode)
class song{
onclick.hatesong(thissong){thissong.hate = bool Hatesong(thissong);}
bool Hatesong (){
   if (Hatesong==true){
      return false;}
  else if (Hatesong==false){
     return true;
}
}
or something to this effect, with the same structure for lovesong...i know on the pandora website they require you to go into station settings to undo the ban/love tag.

That would be ideal, but Pandora's XMLRPC API doesn't include any mechanism to remove a song rating.

too bad,
i should really look at the code in detail but im a 'begining' programmer...so bear with me

assumptions:
the hate/ban tag doesnt need to be pushed to the preferences until a new set of 4 songs is fetched...

therefore couldnt you declare a temporary variable (of ban or love) for the song. which would be converted to the actual tag when you call for a new set of 4 songs to be generated.
This would allow for the first 3 songs to have a bool_switch for the ban/love

or would implementing this be madness...

i should really study the code a bit
thanks for your time and more thanks for writing this program

That's a good idea. Might be a little confusing for users, but is better than nothing. Created a wishlist bug to track this.

Can you help with this problem?
