What exactly were you expecting?
The main feature of IMMS is that it does not have a UI.
So here is an excerpt from the log instead:

[Rating: X(Y)+Xr+Xa]

  • X(Y) base rating of the song
    • X is the mean, and Y is the std dev (think confidence interval)
  • +/-X[a/r] indicates cummulative relationship of the current song to the last played, and last manually selected songs
    • r = correlations, i.e. how often are these two songs played together?
    • a = acoustic, i.e. How acoustically similar are the these songs?

[Last: X!]

  • This song (or another recognized remix of it) was last played X days/hours ago.
  • The ! indicates that the song was actually played longer ago than shown, but the value was truncated based on the length of the playlist. Note: never is a long time.

[Skipped]

  • The song was skipped before it ended. Its rating will be decreased.

[Jumped]

  • Indicates that the next song was manually selected by the user.
  • Songs that are jumped to will get a big rating boost.

[Unknown]

  • Indicates that IMMS could not guess the artist and the title of this song.

[After: X(Y)]

  • X(Y) new rating of the song after the current play event.
  • The change depends on whether or not the song was skipped, or jumped to, as well as a variety of other factors.

[New]

  • Indicates that this is the first time IMMS has played this song.
