iTunes 7.4 brings back album love. Using the rating system I recommended in iTunes Zero, you can create some great new smart playlists with album ratings:
Great Albums!
Albums with greater than 3 stars.
Usually these albums have consistently great tracks. It’s useful to have these within easy reach in iTunes.
Yes Michael, I was surprised too. Ok, not really. I admit it.
Sucky Albums
Albums with less than 3 stars.
Time to delete them? You never really liked these anyway.
What? You mean I don’t like Moby side projects?!
Mediocre Albums
Albums with 3 stars.
Sometimes you THINK these albums are great, but some of them can coast by on the strength of one or two tracks.
Neglected Albums
Albums with higher than 3 stars, but with tracks you haven’t listened to in a while.
You say you love them, but you never take them out anymore.
I Can Care Less
Albums with LESS than 3 stars with tracks that you haven’t listened to in a while.
It’s likely that you can delete, sell, or trade these albums without it ever bothering you.
Hopefully I can get this Fischerspooner CD to emerge right into a Lala.com envelope.
I’m emerging for you, Blaine.
From the murky depths?
