What does the star mean in Apple Music?

So Apple no longer lets us rate our own songs, but they let other people tell us. So much for freedom of choice. I'm going back to iOS9

have you rated the song?

Thanks for your helpful answer. Where can I find the user guide for Apple Music? Pam

Why does apple beleife that I give a sh1t what's popular?? Why, on my phone, do o want any indication ofbwhat other people think?

I know, ever since they launched Apple Music they've been replacing useful features with things that promote this cloud-based garbage. They do it because they know they can get away with it.

Having your own Hearts rating there would be way more useful.

Exactly.

Before you know it, this unorthodox post will be erased by the thought police...or Mark Suckmyberg.

I have an album on Apple Music now entitled "Soul'd Out SHo" an 3 or 4 of my songs have stars next to them.... am I to assume that means they're fairly popular/liked amongst those who have heard it ?

It would be nice if the music app showed how the user rated the song instead of how others rate the song.

I rate this feature zero stars.

Are there any other threads, websites where one can find answers relating to iTunes? Moderators here keep deleting posts which are critical and therofre I cannot find the answers in looking for..
