11,121 Unrated. Ugh.



Has been a goal for a while 17 months ago

Right now, I have 6,911 songs rated.
11,545 are unrated.
Yeah, I have much music. Here’s the breakdown:

5 – 664
4 – 1,914
3 – 2,445
2 – 1,449
1 – 439

There’d be more 1 stars, but I go through them regularly and delete. I only recently made a playlist to go through alphabetically. I’m only on the B-52s on that one. That is in addition to the Unrated & Added <30 days ago, and Unrated & Year = 2008 playlists I use.

Some findings: 1.Some songs I used to love just don’t earn that 5 Star rating anymore. 2. I have way too much music, and rating everything will help to weed out the stuff I need. 3. I wish there was a way to average out the song ratings by album on Windows iTunes. 4. It’s getting harder and harder as I go along to disginguish a 4 Star from a 3 Star, and a 3 Star from a 2 Star. 5. It feels nice to bestow the honor of 5 Stars on a song I didn’t previously think deserved it.
