Obviously :)

I should expand on the album score a bit, and the album rating stars
graphic - sometimes they may not seem to match, especially for partly
rated albums.

The SCORE is based on an average of the star rating for all tracks,
where an unrated track is given 2.25 stars. But there are extra
conditions:
1) If muso deems that not all tracks in an album are present, it gives
only 2 stars to those missing but does include them in the scoring. If
you delete 4 tracks from an album because you dislike them and never
want to listen to them, this doesn't mean it becomes a good album! It
deduces tracks are missing by comparing the tracks present with the
track count (or if that isn't set, the highest track number of those
that are present).
2) Muso down-grades any album with fewer than 7 tracks by 2 stars in
total (the fewer there are, the more this affects the average)
This may sound complex, but I have experimented with a few scoring
mechanisms and this tends to give good meaningful results.

The album's RATING STARS GRAPHIC on the main albums view is also based
on average track rating but the number of stars plotted is based ONLY on
the tracks actually rated. The OPACITY of the graphic represents how
many of the tracks are actually rated. So an album of 10 tracks with
only one track rated at 4 stars will show 4 stars but only at 10%
opaqueness (10% is the minimum otherwise it would be almost impossible
to see). So the stronger you see the graphic, the stronger muso's
confidence in the average rating. The graphic will only plot empty stars
up to the highest track rating in the album - so if you see 3 stars full
but only 4 stars in total (1 empty) this means that the average rating
is 3 stars but the highest track rating is 4.
