[QUOTE="rtv, post: 204337, member: 12309"] Hi! While I find myself pretty often pressing a quick 1-5 on my remote in "Playing Now" to rate a particular song I realized that I do not very often rate full albums, use r[U]atings[/U] for views, etc. Furthermore there's some redundant functionality with the [U]Set favorite[/U] feature. While this can be used nicely with audioscrobbler and random tracks I often neglect it because there's no visible indicator for favorite or not favorite. [B]To sum things up: both implementations are neither consistent nor complete.[/B] Some time ago I already had some thoughts about implementing a last.fm like [U]easier rating system[/U] which only offers "ban" / "unrated" / "love" and displays all items accordingly. Now I've stumpled upon some changes that were made to M$ [U]Zune's rating[/U] system: [url]http://zuneinsider.com/archive/2007/11/06/like-it-don-t-like-it-the-new-zune-rating-system.aspx[/url] It basically reflects the same feelings I got from our 5 Star rating system. However - many comments on this article indicate that users aren' that happy with the new system. So please tell us what do you think about the rating, how do you use it, how could it be better?
