Geek Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/half-star-rating-itunes.jpg" alt="Half Star Ratings in iTunes" title="half-star-rating-itunes" width="590" height="168" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29255" /></p> <p><a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/itunes/">iTunes</a> allows users to rate songs on a 1 star to 5 star basis, song rating data can then be used for a variety of purposes, either for your own reference or for creating custom play lists that only include songs rated over a certain star value. But what if a song is somewhere in the middle of the rating scale, not quite worthy of 4 stars but not a 3 star song either? For more precise personal ratings, enable the half-star rating option in iTunes.</p> <p>Launch the Terminal, found within the /Applications/Utilities/ directory, and enter the following defaults write command:</p> <p><code>defaults write com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars -bool TRUE</code></p> <p>Quit and relaunch iTunes for changes to take effect. To give something a half star, click and slide the star rating scale until the 1/2 value shows.</p> <p>To remove the half-star rating option use the following defaults command and then relaunch iTunes again:</p> <p><code>defaults delete com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars</code></p> <p>Removing the half stars moves the song rating to the star below it, so a 3 1/2 star song would turn into a 3 star song, and so on.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g0krxEta8CfFc8h8G18_3yxBVKI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g0krxEta8CfFc8h8G18_3yxBVKI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g0krxEta8CfFc8h8G18_3yxBVKI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g0krxEta8CfFc8h8G18_3yxBVKI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Ejg1fN4wR8g:VAf2T9ba4Eg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Ejg1fN4wR8g:VAf2T9ba4Eg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=Ejg1fN4wR8g:VAf2T9ba4Eg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Ejg1fN4wR8g:VAf2T9ba4Eg:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=Ejg1fN4wR8g:VAf2T9ba4Eg:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Ejg1fN4wR8g:VAf2T9ba4Eg:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=Ejg1fN4wR8g:VAf2T9ba4Eg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/Ejg1fN4wR8g" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
