In theory it should be 2.5 of course, but partial stars seem to be a bit much. I think a default of 3 makes more sense in general on the theory that if you're loading a song into your library, you will often like it than not. > Problem no 2 is that I > can't work out under what circumstances the program increases the rating on a > track that's played - it seems inconsistent.

We could just add a new rhythmdb property that gets set to true whenever the user manually rates a song, and then just don't change it from there. > The whole business of ratings is to allow the user to select tracks based on > the rating, and for that you need to provide a rating selection criteria in > the automatic playlist generator. Yeah, that'll happen hopefully soon. Some of the internals make it a bit tricky, is the thing.
