Other Navidrome/opensubsonic users, how do you guys use the 5 stars? for me it is
People often ask me ‘What’s your favorite song?’ or ‘Who is your favorite guitarist?’ to which i reply ‘All of them.’ I’ve been playing, creating, and listening to music since the age of 5 when my uncle showed me 3 simple cords. It lit a fire in me that is burning to this day. I do have genre specific playlists, but a lot of times I just put the whole lot on random/no repeat and enjoy Opera one minute and Heavy Metal the next, with some Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Funk, Hip Hop, Rap, Rock, thrown in the mix. I truly love music and my tastes are quite expansive and eclectic. There are some songs that do have deep meaning to me tho. However, if I were to utilize the 5 star system, they would all be 5 stars. LOL Recently, I managed to have a script pick a random song from a playlist, and display it in the Linux MOTD, to remind me of songs I may not have heard in a while, when I administer the server.

i totally get what you mean but heck,
some songs popping up might make me cry or get too pumped-up for what i am doing. ive always been easily moved by music and have to be careful, especially during work hours, if i am talking to a lot of people that day.
when i am in the mood you’re describing, that is when i throw on my “Absolute Bangers” playlist
the only search query is rating being 4-5, regardless of genre!
between the ratings, genre, and moods, i can curate a vibe, letting me set the tone any activity
Totally understandable. Music is the window to the soul, and everyone’s window has a different view. By this, I guess I live in a glass house. Music is power, it moves, motivates, evokes emotion.
