Definately - It's awesome to make up smartlists of just music that you like.

I don't. I don't really see any point in it. You could always make smartlists by other filters and still get the same results

YES! I use these ratings with MC9 to build Smart Playlists
My system: 1. All new music starts at 3 by default 2. Favorites get 4 or 5 3. Keepers stay at 3 4. Not so favorites, but part of an album gets a 2 5. Dogs get a 1 - and are removed from library/iPod as soon as possible. I have playlists that give me JUST 3's and higher by genre, and favorites by genre... Works great!

Nope. I use the ratings to identify songs on my iPod that need to be adjusted when I'm back on iTunes:
* = delete ** = rerip, or purchase a legitimate copy *** = retag, or add to a manual playlist **** = check this whole album for profanity ***** = contains profanity, add a tag to the Comments field |

Never. I don't really see a point. I figure if I didn't like the song, it wouldn't be on my iPod. If I come across a tune I'm not in the mood for, I just press skip...

...which is fine, because I will likely be in the mood later for that song. But my pod has no dogs...

All right, I'll take that back.
There is *one* dog: the song "Girls" by Dwight Twilley. Hated it from day one. But for some reason I cannot bring myself to delete it from the iPod...

This is my new system I am trying to develop:
Fives stars: Would listen to everyday, multiple times a day Four stars: Favorites. Would listen to every other day to every day, but likely not more than twice in one day. Three stars: The main population of my pod. Just plain good songs Two stars: Audible content, soundtrack/musical songs + misc. songs that need to be on the iPod for album completeness but wouldn't necessarily listen to unless I listen to the entire album in one sitting One star/No rating: This is the meet and greet grouping. I try to rate everything to one star and it gets upgraded as I listen to it. I check my no ratings often to see if a song needs booted from the iPod. Cheers, Stu

Yes, it's a cool feature. I don't know why I really do it though.

1 star means delete 2 mean like it enough not to delete 3 mean like it 4 love it 5 really love it e.g. I have a all-star fave list with all 5 stars Only thing is all newly added songs don't get rated but go to a smart playlist (unrated) where I will rate as I hear 'em. |

Yes, absolutely! It is a great feature when used in conjunction with Smart Playlists. I have several Smart Playlists that incorporate songs based on their ratings.
