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 car ride and generally not skip myself 4 - Amazing songs. If I was to put a Playlist on for people and not worry about it 4.5 - Favorite songs. that will stay with me for a lifetime. Maybe a fault or two that might keep me from labeling it perfection, but still perfect to me. 5 - Id play these for anyone without hesitation and then look at them and say “was that not perfection?!”

For smart playlists, I got the typicals:

• 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

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.
