Terminal Tip: Enable half-star ratings in iTunes

thanks so much what a great tool. before this i was using the small menu bar app "i love stars"

In iCal is there a terminal tip that will add hours to the repeat action.
For example: Let's say I need to take a pill every 8 hours and I want iCal to remind me. The only problem is that you can only repeat in Days, Weeks and/or Months.

I wish there was a utility/program that would keep track of songs that I repeat or skip.

After repeating the song 5 times the rating should be upped by a 1/2 start. After 10 times up a full point if it isn't already a 5 star song. It would then reset the counter and repeat.

The same with skipping songs except that after 5 times it would lower the song by 1/2 star, reset the counter, and repeat.

There are songs that I think I like until I start playing them. Most of the time I'm listing I'm driving my car and through a DICE unit I have it connect to my car's steering wheel controls. This way I don't have to be looking down to see the iPod. Trying to adjust songs later doesn't work as I wouldn't remember which songs I kept replaying or skipping.

To MYSTIC - All iPods should have rating up to 11.

Any way to enable this in iTunes for windows?

So you're saying I should do your job, for you, at home, for free? You wish!

So this effectively turns iTunes into a 10-star rating system, instead of a 5-star rating system.

Bad idea, if you ask me.

I HATE 1/2 star and tenths rating systems. I think 1-5 is the maximum a rating system should have. 1-4 being even better. Seriously, I would like to meet the person who can give reasons for rating one song a 6 and another an 8.

The half star does not show on my 1st gen iPhone. I wonder if the same terminal tip works on the iphone

Does anybody know if the half stars will show up on an iPod or iPhone?

YEEES! THANK YOU! I've used half stars a lot with an ugly applescript I access via the script menu. This is far, far superior!
