>> 1. Does "0 Stars" mean "Not Rated"? >I'm guessing that you are talking about the "Ratings" menu in Custom Browse ? Yes, sorry for not being clear.

Other than that, I haven't rated a song, or if it really is less than 1 star, I'd delete the music ;) >>This seems wrong to me - >> the album rating should only be an average of rated songs on the album >> (ignore unrated/0* songs)? >It calculates an average rating based on all tracks on the albums, >unrated tracks shall be calculated as a "3 star" rating.

I'll check again in more detail later. The only thing is 0-5 * ratings is a range of 6 values, so 3* is not exactly middle ;) >> 3.

Some of these have introductions, eg. an MC introducing the band to the stage. If the whole album has been rated, I was thinking that I may want to remove the rating of the introduction track, crowd clapping for an encore, etc, as I don't consider these tracks to be music for playback (eg. if I select to play random top rated tracks). I didn't want to reduce the rating to 1*, as this would drop the rating of the album. I was thinking that if these tracks were changed to unrated, it wouldn't affect the rating of the album. >Phil Meyer;155888 Wrote: >> 4.

I'm not sure which is the best case here.

Maybe statistics for tracks on an album shouldn't even >sort the tracks by rating as the "All songs" statistic already do ? Yes, I think that sounds like the right thing to do. By default, when displaying any list that is in album context, i would expect to see the list sorted by disk number then track number. The star ratings and playcounts can be displayed next to each song in song order. If I were to "play as a dynamic playlist", I assume it would add the songs in the order they are presented in the trackstat page. When I click on a "TS" link in the now playing list, it shows the trackstat page for that album. I hadn't quite worked out what this sort order was. It didn't appear to be disk,track number order, nor rating or playcount. It displays all songs. I've figured it out now - it's not taking into account multiple disks on an album - it's always sorting by song number. I think it should sort by disk number first, then track number. The top of the screen has a list of additional statistic views, such as "Top Rated". These work on the full database, not the currently displayed list. Perhaps there could be options on the page to show the list sorted by track number, rating or playcount, or an option to make the additional statistic views only work on the selected album.
