Half Star Ratings In Apple Music - Mac OS Big Sur

Hello. I was able to restore the half star ratings in Apple Music using the command "defaults write com.apple.Music allow-half-stars -bool TRUE". However, this only works for me if I rate one song at a time. Is there a change I could make that would allow me to select several songs and change them all at once? I can do this using "Control I" with all other properties, but I can't do it for half star ratings. Thank you.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Music for Mac OS -- Harder to rate songs -- what's up? Hi, This is new -- when looking at the MiniPlayer, "Rating" is not visible when selecting the 3 dots. It is also not available when right-clicking on a song. Which makes it more difficult to rate songs. "Ratings" is selected in the "View Options" dialog box. But of course, "Love" and "Dislike" are listed. Which are completely worthless IMO -- hopefully Apple is listening. I'm running 11.6.1 on my Mac Mini M1, 2020. Help please -- thank you.

Re-enable half star ratings in Music Amongst the other dreadful things replacing iTunes with Music has done (messing up playlists & view options big time) is Music has removed half-star ratings & the old commands to add that option again no longer work. Does anyone know how to get them back? I need to know for both Mac & Windows 10.

Can no longer view playlist by songs' star rating in OSX Ah, the good old days. I curated all my playlists and Smart playlists in order of star-ratings painstakingly given to favorite songs. The best star rated songs rose to the top, Five star, then Four star, then Three star, and so forth. Songs played in that order. I can click the checkbox in Preferences>General and see the ratings, but back in the Library list view, no longer choose how the playlist shows them in order. That feature appears to be GONE in more recent iTunes releases within Mojave and Catalina. Choosing view options from menu or right click no longer supports view by rating. WHY? Did some programming team decide to strip out a highly-useful feature that supports how seasoned users prefer to curate custom and Smart playlists? I got tier-2 Tech support on the phone and they agreed. Poof. Gone. PLEASE BRING THIS FEATURE BACK. We had it. We loved it. We still need it.
