Actually, this is a good workaround.
I did what Peter suggested and created an automatic playlist for 2
or more stars in the rating. I also added a second line item for rating
is 0. I then checked the "if any criteria are met". So that gives me
2-5, and 0, but not 1.
So now, any songs I don't rate are there, and as soon as I rate them
1, they no longer show up in the playlist.
This helped me so I thought I would share it with all of you. I
could live w/o the "Skip songs w/ one star" since a playlist seems like
the better way to handle this.
Thanks,
Joe
