that's a good idea - I'll give it a try.
I rather NOT rate the songs, since if it has no rating I know that I
need to rate it.
I rate songs like so:
1. I hate it, I never want to hear it again
2. Bearable
3. Average, I won't skip to the next if it comes on
4. Good, sometimes I rock out to it
5. Awesome, I wish it was in Guitar Hero
So, as you can see from my chart, if I rate them all 3 -- I won't know
if I have rated it already or not.
I guess I can use 2 for what you use your 3, thus replacing my 2 with
NULL. :)
However, all of this can be avoided if we get this option :)
In closing I would like to say that I'm an OLD SCHOOL winamp fan, then I
moved to xmms/beep, and recently to Rhythmbox. I tried Winamp the other
day, and I hated it -- I couldn't find what I wanted.
Rhythmbox, you got moxy (in your name, it's there, look)!
Thanks for all the dev's work!
