what is this new view you are talking about?
Click on Audio > Albums.
then
Audio > Options > Details.
This was added about 5 builds ago. You'll get 1 line item per album and the rating field there will be an average of all the tracks on the album. There's your album rating.
, all this still seems track rating based and isn't really what i am after. I think i will go back to my old method of making a favorites playlist and have it displayed as albums per a smartlist routine.
Well, yes. Each record in the MC database is a track, not an album, so naturally the ratings will be at the track level. Album ratings would have to be an average of this.
We had suggested that you set all of your tracks to the same rating. There's your album rating. It can be displayed in this view I mentioned as the average of the track ratings. It can also be seen in a view scheme or playlist using that code I posted earlier. With that code, it's actually using the rating of the first track on the album, but then making sure that all tracks for the album are included. So, either way, as long as you rate all tracks per album the same, you have multiple ways of doing what you want.
I keep thinking that there must be better and cooler ways of doing things inside of MC11 and perhaps i am getting ahead of the program releases and/or just overthinking too much, that happens to me a lot, lol.
