starTunes automatically rates your iTunes tracks.
StarTunes is a powerful software designed to help you manage and organize your music collection in iTunes. Unlike iTunes’ default function, which only allows you to star rate tracks, StarTunes allows you to star rate your albums and artists as well. With this feature, you can easily see which albums and artists you’ve rated highest and are most likely to enjoy playing.
StarTunes calculates the album star rating by taking the average of all the star ratings of each track within the album. Similarly, the artist star rating is calculated by taking the average of the star ratings of each album by that artist. Genre star ratings are also available, which are calculated based on the average star rating of each artist within that genre.
To take it a step further, StarTunes also allows you to add weighted attributes to each item. For instance, you can boost a track’s star rating if it has been played many times or played recently. You can also boost an album’s star rating if the album has a lot of tracks, indicating that you’ve purchased the whole album. For artists, you can give them a higher rating if you own many of their albums. Finally, if a genre has many artists in it, you can boost its rating, showing that you prefer that genre over others.
The software also offers a propagation feature, which propagates the star rating of a popular genre back to the artists within that genre, and the star rating of a popular artist back to the albums written by that artist. The star rating of a popular album is also propagated back to all the tracks within that album. This feature allows you to assign a new, weighted star rating to each track based on all of the star ratings and weightings given.
If you find that the automatic calculation of star ratings doesn’t always accurately reflect your preferences, you can manually adjust each track’s bonus value by dragging it up and down the list. This bonus value is then propagated to all other items within that genre, artist, album, or track.
Finally, StarTunes offers an automatic star rating feature that writes the results back to the iTunes database. This feature is especially useful for those with large music collections who don’t have the time to manually rate each track. Once all tracks have been star rated, you can use the star rating to enhance your smart playlists in iTunes.
Overall, StarTunes is an excellent software that provides advanced features for managing your music collection in iTunes. With its flexible weighting system and propagation capabilities, you can easily customize your star ratings to reflect your preferences. The software only requires 5Mb of RAM and 1Mb of hard disk space, making it a lightweight and efficient addition to your music management toolset.
