Star ReviewGreat product - Version: 1.3, 8/11/2006 01:58PM PST

Great product, makes it easy to tinker with the star ratings and easily see what the current rating is. There are only two minor changes I'd suggest:
1) Please show the name of the artist in the menu as well as the song title. I'm often curious who the artist is, and find the Star Menu easier to access than right-clicking on the iTunes dock icon

2) If iTunes isn't running, I get the error "itunes not runing" in the console.log very frequently. Aside from the minor typo, it'd be nice to not see this message displayed every few seconds. I was looking through console.log to try and diagnose a crash and had to sift through hundreds of such entries.

Other than that, I find this program basically perfect. It performs a specific function, does it well, saves me time and just generally is a great addition.

It's funny, I probably have all the major productivity apps I need, but I'm constantly on the lookout for new apps that squeeze that extra little bit and make life just a bit more automated and efficient. Mental I guess..

I'm currently using Synergy as my iTunes remote and I have function key combos setup to rate songs as they're playing...ALT-CMD-1 for 1-star, ALT-CMD-2, etc...
However, still looking forward to trying this out...
