  • Star ratings and smart playlists! Oh my! I love this stuff. Im currently using plex, which allows for half stars since im a masochist

    I dont know that I need the full ten options, but 5 wasn’t quite enough for me. If there was like 7 star system id do that, hah.

    • 0.5 - I would delete if other people weren’t listening to the library. Never play again
    • 1 - on my shitlist. Unless something changes, will probably go to 0.5 stars the next time I hear it.
    • 1.5 to 2 - Not opposed, but forgettable or slightly not my style
    • 2.5 - average content. Not memorable but fine
    • 3 - solid content, still not memorable
    • 3.5 - the good stuff. I’ll put it on a solo car ride and generally not skip
    • 4 - Amazing songs. If I was to put a Playlist on for other people and not worry about it
    • 4.5 - Favorite songs. Maybe a fault or two but will still stay with me for a lifetime
    • 5 - Id play these for anyone without hesitation and then look at them and say “was that not perfection?!”

    For smart playlists:

    • playlists by star rating
      • alts for excluding facemelting stuff to play in public
    • Car ride - 3.5 stars and up + havent heard in a month
    • “Frontier” playlist. Only play things i havent heard in a year that aren’t 0.5 stars

    I generally listen to my frontier Playlist and try to rate as I go. Other playlists for when im listening but busy and just want the good stuff.

    I havent found a good way to tag on the go, unfortunately. Maybe someday
