Remote Stars display

I love the iPhone iTunes Remote app!
Just wish it would display your current playing song's star rating, as it is now (at least for me) it's always no stars, unless I set them on the phone, and then only wile the song is still playing.

if you are not showing them so as to let us get a fresh review should we feel the need to set them again I can see that... but I would lso like an option to see them before I may change them, if they have a rating...

G5 Dual 2.3, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Ok, is it just my iTunes library that doesn't show stars when I you remote?
I was at my brothers house, and when he uses it on his iTunes he can see the stars for songs that already have them. Why can't I on my library?

Agreed: Remote is great... BUT, I have the same problem with star ratings. Everything in remote shows up with no stars, regardless of how it's rated in my iTunes library.

Clearly, there is some problem with my librray. I thought it may be a permissions issue, so I repaired permissions, but that did not fix it. I've had this problem for some time now and figured the new iTunes 8 and Remote 1.1 would help. They did not.

Anyone else dealing with this?

Good to know I'm not alone!

I put a few songs on my Laptop and gave them ratings and it works there...

so the question is, how to fix my main system with it's thousands of songs many of them with star ratings, Play Counts, etc... 😟

I'm still seeking some help on this as well... And I can add more info:

My star ratings are also absent when using another computer to play my music via a Shared Library.

In other words, all of my music lives on an iMac. I can control it all via Remote.app on iPhone, but when I do, it does not show me each song's previously rated star rating.

The same goes for using a Mac Book Pro to play music on the iMac via a shared library. I can play the music, but the "Rating" column is empty.

Any insight out there?

I don't think this is an issue any more on the current Remote app, so i'm going to close it as answered...
