Apple Music's missing star rating system

In the most recent update (Tahoe 26.5, I believe), Apple Music no longer shows the star rating system. I enjoyed using it to quickly see which songs I like more. It's not lost; you can find it in "Get Info" but 'tis a hassle.


I find this frustrating and would like to ask for it back. What's the best method for this?


(please bring it back)

You can include it when viewing a list of songs. Just go to the View menu in Apple Music and choose the Show View Options menu. Then all you need to do is place a checkmark next to Ratings.


I have it showing in Apple Music on Tahoe.

Troubleshooting Apple Music Ratings on a Mac:

Turn Ratings ON:

  1. Go Here: Rate Songs and Other Content in Music on Mac - Apple Support
  2. Scroll To: Turn ratings on or off
  3. Scroll to: Give an item a rating


To fix a few things like this…

Update your Mac:

macOS 26.7 is the latest macOS Tahoe version. So, go to Apple menu > About This Mac > Version.

Important:

Back Up your Mac First:  Be certain you Create a Time Machine Backup of your Mac, so that way you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the upgrade.
