We'd only have to map to the 1-star system if we were to do real importing, which we don't (yet?). To pour more gas on the fire, how are ratings different than crates? They're just labels...

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Rant about Star Ratings
Anti-troll troll: How do we map metadata tag ratings that are on a 1-5 scale (like every other app out there, iTunes included) to the 0/1 scale? Are we going to split that one star up into fifths ?

[Mixxx-devel] Rant about Star Ratings
Warning: Possible giant troll. Hey guys, I've always had a beef with 5-star ratings in music applications that's turned me off using them. I struggle with the meaning of each rating, and it's always been my hunch that just having a single star column that you can toggle (a la GMail) would be way more convenient. What's the difference between 3, 4 star, and 5 stars? If you rate songs as 1 star (out of 5), why do you even have that in your library? (In Mixxx, you can "Remove" them.) The mapping from a 5-star system to my imaginary 1-star system would be: 4, 5 stars --> starred 2, 3 stars --> unstarred 1 star --> remove Does anyone actually use all 5 stars? I don't want to rag on Tobias' great work on the star widget. :) If we were go to a 1-star system, we could definitely still use his widget without modification for our external track sources. Thanks, and hopefully someone can set me straight.
