Hello.
I agree with Mirko in regards to the playlist. A rating system of "stars" or "numbers" is of very little use to me. Why would I even have any songs on my computer of a one or two star? By definition any songs that I have ripped, copyied, bought, downloaded, etc. are ones that I like. Sure, there are a few that I REALLY like, but NONE that I don't like.
Now, a "rating" system based on type. category, or genre makes sense. As Mirko wrote, "tunes for car" or "workout music" or "music for the babes" etc. makes sense. But wait, MJ already has that! Its called playlists!!!
regards,

p.s. I also agree with Mirko concerning the DRM. I don't like anybody messin' with my stuff. I know some people think that only criminals are pro-privacy laws, and strip-searches, and that "honest law-abiding" citizens have nothing to hide.... B.S.! Its the principle. Really.
If I buy music I'll do with it darn well what I please. I'll copy it onto any one of my five computers, my nomad, my Sony Clie and I WILL make CD mixes for my friends! (Whatever I/we use to do in the "audio cassette days", we should be able to do in the "digital" era too).
So, if WMP "tries" to stop me, I ain't using it. Regardless of "killer features".
