As someone who is gradually rating a huge library set to shuffle, this is useful to determine at a glance when I haven't rated the song I'm listening to. Previously I've been using a script that requests a rating for unrated tracks, but this method is a bit more subtle and allows star entry at any point during the song. Combined with hot keys for each star choice via Butler, I have a rating system that requires no mouse use whatsoever and doesn't interrupt my work if I ignore it. Nice. I'm going to give it a try over the next few days and see if it proves to be the "solution" to my "problem".

While Synergy is an excellent app and I registered it long ago, I prefer to handle iTunes hot keys via Butler now because it offers slightly different features that I find useful (for instance, providing a pop up menu at my cursor location or a corner of the screen when I need it instead of the menu bar). When I'm deep in work I forget to check if a song is rated or not; the script I've been using demands a rating for any unrated song when it plays. iTunesRating instead keeps me apprised of each track's rating status at a glance at any time during the song, no pull down or pop up a menus required.Wednesday, June 02 2004 @ 01:19 PM PDT

Good heavens man, why haven't you purchased Synergy yet? Anyone who will go through all that to handle their ratings would find the $5 or so for Synergy to be a very wonderful deal.Reply to This
