Your second radio¶

Let's continue by making a radio for your top listened recordings.

Exercise: In the module documentation, try finding what modules you may want.

Our first module will be listen_count_scorer. What it does is set the score of the item to the count of all time listens of your recording

The second module is the sort_module. It sorts the radio listens depending on their scores.

Let's add them both to the stack:

{
    "name": "My Radio",
    "stack": [        
        {
            "id": "listen_seeder",
            "step_type": "listen_seeder",
            "inputs": {
                "user": "RustyNova"
            }
        },

        {
            "step_type": "listen_count_scorer",
            "id": "listen_count_scorer",
        },

        {
            "step_type": "sort_module",
            "id": "sort_module",
            "inputs": {
                "direction": "Desc"
            }
        }
    ],
    "variables": {}
}

A few notes:

listen_count_scorer has no inputs. There's no need for them
sort_module sorts in a descending order of scores by default. So it doesn't need inputs either. This is just for ease of reading and that...
sort_module can also sort in an ascending order if you prefer

Cutting off the radio¶

A problem with this radio is that it also gives the top of every recording you ever listened to. We need to tell it to stop after a while...

THis can be done with the length_limiter module.

{
    "name": "My Radio",
    "stack": [        
        {
            "id": "listen_seeder",
            "step_type": "listen_seeder",
            "inputs": {
                "user": "RustyNova"
            }
        },

        {
            "step_type": "listen_count_scorer",
            "id": "listen_count_scorer",
        },

        {
            "step_type": "sort_module",
            "id": "sort_module",
            "inputs": {
                "direction": "Desc"
            }
        },
        {
            "step_type": "length_limiter",
            "id": "length_limiter",
            "inputs": {
                "duration": "2 hours"
            }
        }
    ],
    "variables": {}
}
