Or you could simply enjoy MIP or random mixes of your entire collection having deleted/archived any "1 or 2 star" stuff... I bet once you have rated something 1 or 2 you never listen to it again - so it might as well be removed from the collection. So the 1-5 scheme basically resolves into good or not good - and you might as well just jettison the "not good" stuff. That's what I do.
