You assign iTunes ratings to rate your favouite songs in your music library by applying stars from one to five.

After you rate your songs, you can use those ratings as a playlist criterion.

For example, I created a smart playlist that contained songs with a rating of five stars guaranteeing that I listened to my personal favorites.

To Assign Ratings

You can assign ratings in one of three ways...

1. One track at a time

To assign ratings to individual tracks, click on View > View Options and tick the Rating check box.

Select a track and right click to bring up a menu, choose Rating and select your rating for the selected track from one to five stars.

2. Multiple tracks

You can also assign the same rating to several songs at once.

To do this, select the songs in your iTunes library holding down the Shift key on your keyboard whilst you select songs.

Now right-click the selected songs and assign your rating. Notice that the rating you choose is assigned to all your selected songs.

3. On the go

You can assign ratings using your iPod too. When listening to a song, press the ‘Center’ button three times if you have album art work.

If you don't have an album art work, you only need to press the Center button twice.

You'll be taken to a rating screen, where you use your iPod’s scroll wheel to assign a rating.

When you sync your iPod with your computer, the ratings you've entered on your iPod are transferred to iTunes.

Note: You can only rate songs with third-generation and later iPods with display.

Testimonials...
OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was on it when it crashed. I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they do not make the black nanos anymore. I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the problem.
Thank you.
Buddy Kniffen, Midland, Texas

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao
