    I used to use the rating system, 1 star for dislikes, and exclude 1 star from playlists.  Now, with the new heart system, there is a like and dislike.  Use dislike and then exclude dislikes form smart playlist.

    Then use ratings.  I suggested using love and unloved before I checked the filters.  Ratings still works both in iTunes and iOS10, you just have to use Siri to do the rating.

    Can't use ratings on the phone. That's the whole point with the question. Want to be able to update smart playlist from my phone.

    How do i exclude disliked songs from a smart playlist.

     

    With the new and unfortunately poorly designed system on the phone, you can no longer rate songs in the app. Yes you can do it with Siri, but given Siri limitations and poor ability to understand requests this is not improvement and much slower. Not too mention disruptive to everyone around you!

     

    Ideally, I would have two smart playlists on my phone, high rated or liked songs, and unrated songs, or songs which are neither liked nor disliked.

     

    The smart playlist functionality considers all songs that are not loved, as the same, whether they are disliked or not rated.

    Very dumb, as in not good design. Obviously Apple was trying to do something Facebooky with song rating, by limiting us to only "like"ing songs, something even Facebook has moved away from.

     

    So here is the question - HOW DO I MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE SONGS IN ITUNES THAT HAVE NEITHER BEEN LIKED OR DISLIKED so I can include that list on my phone, and review those songs to add ratings.

     

    Please limit your answered to be responsive to this question - NO SUGGESTIONS TO DO SOME OTHER THING THAT DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

     

    PLEASE ALSO POST IF YOU WANT APPLE TO FIX THE LIMITATION IN IOS and ITUNES.

     

    Thanks!

    Please don't type in all caps.  It is considered to be rude, and being rude is not the way to get Help.

    No, don't. This isnt a polling place and is against the TOS.

    I would like Apple to provide the ability to create a Smart Playlist that allows user to filter unloved/not disliked songs. For example songs you have not listened to with neither a heart of the heart with the x-out.

     

    This would allow users to listen to songs that they have not as of yet reviewed/rated/hearted etc.

     

    Apple's decision to remove the five star rating system from IOS had repercussions on users that either were intentionally ignored in the update or stupidly missed.  Please return this functionality, or fixed the extremely limited loved/disliked rating system and how it operates with smart playlists.

    Please stop posting useless and unhelpful answers on this thread. It is clear from your responses that either you don't understand the issue or you don't care -NO MORE POSTS.

     

    Thanks.

    How do I make a smart playlist that includes songs that have never been loved or disliked that are essentially unrated?

    You don't, unless you jump through a bunch of steps (which you don't want to do).

    So we are supposed to interrupt our music listening to talk to Siri?  That seems odd
