Music: Why are Star Ratings gone???

Apple, I have been using iTunes since 1.0, and Apple music players since the first iPod. The primary way I sort my music is by rating all of my songs, so I can quickly make playlists based on my five-star songs (for example). And I frequently listen to playlists of my unrated songs, so I can rate them appropriately.


This functionality is gone in iOS 10.


I used to tap the song title (in iOS 8 and earlier) or the album art (in iOS 9) to bring up the Star rating for a song. It was quick and easy, and allowed me to rate my songs while I'm away from home. As of iOS 10, tapping the album artwork does...nothing. The Star functionality has been removed completely.


Can you tell me why this was done? You have removed an essential part of the music experience for no good reason. And it's not like that operation has been replaced with anything. It's just gone.


This is making me regret upgrading to iOS 10, and I've been looking forward to this release for months. This is taking away something I've used religiously since the very first iPod.


Please, bring back Star Ratings on iOS 10! Please!
