Half Star ratings in iTunes 12.5.1 for Windows?

I was cranky about this too, but I found this link: http://www.technipages.com/itunes-enable-half-star-ratings

It was an easy fix -- bring up the Run box, paste in

"C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt allow-half-stars 1

The option has been buried for so long the chances are it has been finally dropped. I cannot make it work here. Ratings stars are now blue or dark grey rather than black or light grey, and I cannot find a way to rate songs on my iPhone anymore, so it looks like there has been some tinkering.

Apple has provided this extensive documentation on what is included with the Windows iTunes update. Strap yourself in and put your helmet on to fully take in the sights, the smells, the je ne said quoi Apple has made avaiable for Windows users:

Windows:

Clarity and simplicity, that old chestnut. 👿

Excellent find. 🙂

If only Apple would actually publish the command line options.
