Feature request: more than 5 stars for rating.

SkGe:
Hello again.
Forget to mention on the previous post. The first field is an editable one, so each time you can edit there the supposed rating, and the second field give you a visualization of the rating for the selecting value.

DangerJP:
Hi SkGe,

Thanks for your tip regarding half stars, really helpful!

In addition, I'd like to use a "two-tone" half-star character similar to the one attached.

Is it possible with MC ?

Thx !

SkGe:
Hello. You can use this type of two-tone colour. If this help you, here is modified code of the earlier expression.

--- Code: ---IfElse(
compare([rating+], =, 0), <//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 0.5), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 1.0), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 1.5), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 2.0), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 2.5), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 3.0), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 3.5), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 4.0), <//font><//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 4.5), <//font>,
compare([rating+], =, 5.0), <//font>)<//font>
--- End code ---

You can modify the colour in your desired colour. One cool site is this https://coolors.co/

Thank you, I will check this out !

FIRST POST:
ME BITCHIN' AND MOANIN' THAT THIS WASN'T ALREADY INCLUDED *AS AN OPTION*
AND AT HAVING TO LEARN THIS SKILL INSTEAD OF DOING SOMETHING ELSE TODAY :P

I bought JRiver Media Center because I wanted something that handles a large library of uploaded records, CDs, huge amount of digital music purchased for years over a variety of platforms, which onlt JRiver can do!

So, huge library.
That I can play randomly.
Rate individual tracks!
and put them in a variety of playlists!
I can't be the only one doing this, right?
Why a better rating system hasn't been included in new releases...
or even the *option* for more stars, in the years I've been here watching this software
and Media Monkey and Music Bee and etc is anyone's guess.
If it's this easy to do why not include it at least as an *option* on future releases?

ALSO, HOW MUCH TIME COULD BE SAVED WITH A SIMPLE 'HOW TO' VIDEO?
WHY, IF THIS WAS MY BUSINESS AND MY SOFTWARE I WAS PROMOTING...
;) :P :-*

Psychographic marketing. People who know how to code are probably getting Foobar2000 for free and going nuts. JRiver and Media Monkey and all the rest appeal to people who need things set up for them already and don't know how or want to get "behind the face" of the software to learn how it works.

Intuitive as JRiver MC is, creating new fields isn't intuitive at all. Without learning what all these actions and names mean, a simple (to you) set of instructions will lose most non CS majors. Which creates a sub-par experience which limits sales and people buying updates and recommending this great software to their friends.

I bought the software to make things easier to do not get knee deep in learning how to code, etc but...until a better media player ever...ever comes around I guess I'm stuck learning to code this one a basic, new thing that frankly should've been added three years ago when I first started asking for it.

Since that seems unlikely to happen...and why do anything at all? Why fix anything? Whatta they gonna do there's only two options: Media Monkey and JRiver. And development has seemed to stall on both as people largely started buying paid streaming subscriptions. And only JRiver MC handles large libraries so...with no competition...no real incentive to improve. Etc.

=====

OKAY, GOT THAT OUT OF MY SYSTEM NOW ON TO ...JUST DOING THIS MYSELF. ;) ;D
INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR A HOUSE, LEARNING TO PLAY KEYBOARD, ENJOYING MUSIC, ETC.
MILLION OTHER THINGS
;)
