Title: Album ratings
Post by: maruf_65 on March 11, 2006, 05:49:32 am
well recently i have got a music managing software named helium 2006. this software is pretty good in fact. it has many feature. u may check it out. but the reason for why i am bringing this topic is that i want mc those feature link album rating ++++ more (i.e. the features that have helium 2006). the mc team took it as an example.

as a matter of fact i just want i media player and my first choice is mc. but yet its lack some features. i just mc to have those features

I own helium it has gotten more confusing, so I refuse to use it.

it was good at one time for editing tags, and checking the mp3's for sync errors

Ahh well that i would like to see as well. My own system for album ratings (since v10) works great, but its manual.

What i'm not sure is whether he's talking about calculated album ratings or whether they are being pulled from AMG for example.

If were gonna do album ratings, we should do Artist ratings as well like YME! does.

While on the topic of ratings, the top display area absolutely needs to have an editable ratings bar for songs. :o

Maybe add in a drop down for moods as well.

Yahoo Music engine on a  1 - 5 scale I believe.

OK this is self assigned for artist score, i was looking more for a derived one.

I have rated so many tracks from many artists, give me a league table etc of my 20 top artists, based on an average of what i rated their tracks. Said artists should also have at least 5 or more tracks already in the library to qualify.

The same applies for album ratings too.

Helium automatically calculates the album rating as an average of the track ratings as you enter them.

Damn!!

...and Helium has half ratings too....

...the so called MC users union respectfully petitions management to address the above issues.

This has been talked about forever, why can't we get 1/2 star ratings, i got so many albums that are 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 instead of 3 or 4 that its not funny.

I really hope this is added before too many more versions go by.

I am continually impressed with mc11, the new floating thumbnails with drop shadows really make the whole thing look neat and clean.

Thanks

ok, which would you prefer for half ratings

a half star or 1/2

i was thinking a dbl click would toggle between half or full.

Doesn't really matter to me, either or both would be fine  ;D

OK, that shows half ratings for tracks. For Album Ratings...i preferred the way MC showed a score rounded up to one decimal point in the library browser in 11.0.

That's more granular than using stars for album ratings.
