RATING your TRACKS

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

How do you guys allocate your time on this?  I just ripped all my albums (a lot) well 6 months ago and I've been dragging my feet ever since to rate all my tracks properly.  I could have long been done by now, it just seems so overwhelming.  L3000.gif  But I know once I get around this doing this and complete it, I will be so much more content with it.

If I were you, I'd take a moment and listen to your albums A-Z and after each song, just put the rating there. You obviously like music, so why not just listen to it album by album?

personally I dont bother with ratings because I dont see the point to it. If there was a smart shuffle algorithm that used ratings I would have no problem but yeah...

I hear ya lol.  There's a lot though.  I've programmed the rating system to use the keypad number keys so it's really fast.  I've been racing through 10 seconds of a song at a time and still am lucky if I get 500 or so done every hour or two.  Mainly I like the ratings because without them I'm finding I'm not listening to my music hardly at all (unless I go searching for a song or artist), where as when I had a single genre of my stuff rated before, I was listening to it all the time because I was able to create smart playlists with it using 3-5 star tracks, so every song right after another was a great song, kept the mood going very good :D  I'm just being impatient I guess, I want it done fast, instead of trying to space it out like I should.

 

A-Z sounds good though, maybe if I try and do 1 letter a day.   :)

instead of actually listening to 10 seconds of song, just try to recall what the songs sound like in your head. I have just about every song memorized in my library. The stuff not worth memorizing I just delete. I hate having files that just sit around without me ever listening to them. Example: led zeppelin and jimi hendrix. I liked them for a couple months but got tired of it and deleted it. Same with the beatles. It just didnt gel with the rest of my music library.
