I have about 7500 CDs and never really paid attention to the “Star Rating System”.
Now i want to start to rate my library, whenever i listen to an album, i will give it a Rating. For example like the following (not definately decided how to)
3Stars for Music which is “OK” lets say nice to listen in the background or when guests in the house.
4Stars for good Music which is worth to recommend.
5Stars for very good, always to be played Music.
Extremely Outstanding goes to “Recommended” (Empfehlungen in German
i have 3 Questions please (1st would be most important):
Does anyone know, is there a way to reset all Star Ratings to Zero in one shot? otherwise i dont know how to start, as old and system ratings will mix up with my new Rating.
Is there a way to set the focus for songs or albums according to the number of Star Rating?
How do you rate or sort your library so you can find Songs and Albums according to your feeling from Music which is “OK” to “Best of Class”
I don’t think you can. I tried with a subset of three albums and I didn’t see any option to change the rating.
In Album View select Focus, lower left corner is Rating - select 1 to 5 stars. Also you can reverse any selection to eliminate those choices as well.
I don’t listen to my music that way. I have a medium sized library of about 3,200 albums that I listen to on shuffle. As with all music there are some clunkers in there. I usually ban these and then skip to the next in the cue.
Sorry I couldn’t help more. I also wish there were more options for batch editing. I’d like to be able to reset the Play Count for songs. It’s been asked for several times with no luck so far.
In the now playing screen you’ll see a line drawing of a heart next to the track name. If you click it once you have selected that track as a favorite. If you click it again you have banned it and will never be played again unless you deliberately play it or un-ban it.
I am probably misunderstanding what you mean by this, but Roon does not read track and album ratings from the actual files or from other applications. When you rate an album in Roon it does not write to the track itself, so any rating you give an album will only show up in Roon. The star ratings you see when you are viewing an album are ratings from critics, not anything you applied in the past. So, are you trying to reset album ratings you have made in Roon? Or are you trying to reset album ratings embedded in the actual files?
I want to reset all Star ratings fron roon critics and what i have done in roon, so i can start applying my own rating wothout seeing prior done ratings frome me or roon…
Batchediting of id3Tags i can do via Media monkey or MP3tag or Music Bee.
Thanks, knew this already but never used it and forgot
Right, but you can’t batch remove them or set them all to 0, so you can’t do what the OP wants to do which is to give new star ratings to albums without the critic’s or previous star ratings being there.
Agreed, bulk changes to the ratings isn’t possible. However, all albums can have a custom rating. A workaround is to use custom tags and apply the “zero” tag to all albums. Then as each album is rated change both star rating and custom tag. Eventually, the star ratings and tags will match and the custom tags can be removed (in bulk.)
