Hi Dan.

Part of me wishes we could wipe our collective brow, exclaim "Phew! It
was sure a lot of work for us!", and pat ourselves on the back. But we
cannot. Rhythmbox is a nice example of what happens when an application
is made to be accessible on the application side of things. Makes our
jobs much, much easier. <smile> So thanks to any and all Rhythmbox guys
who happen to be listening!!

That said....

I use Rhythmbox all the time, but I rarely (read never) rate songs.  I
just took a look, however, and I do not see any way to get at that via
the keyboard. The 'R' of 'Rating' is underlined suggesting it's the hot
key/accelerator, but Alt+R isn't working for me.  Further examination in
Accerciser shows that the whole Rating bar is a single object (a panel).
The five stars that are displayed within that panel do not seem to be
individual accessible objects (or a single collective child of the
panel) either.

Looks like a Rhythmbox bug that needs filing I'm afraid. Sorry!

Take care.
