Do you take the time to rate your music files in your favorite player?

So do you take the time to rate your digital music files in your favorite software player?

I've never taking the time to do that. I usually just play all my music in random mode. How about you?

[Conquest10]

No. I'm not a compulsive downloader. I have a library but not huge. I know every single song I have and thus know which are good.

Why should I ?
This is like putting a stamp on the chest of my kids, with their names written on...

If you don't, how do you know which is which, or what name to write on their birthday card ?

Never saw the point in putting stars on songs, but then I still don't get social networking sites, so what do I know.

I have a big collection on my drive, never rated a single one, anyway giving a track a rating would vary from day to day depending on what i felt like listening to. what mood i was in.

[TBoneit]

Exactly. I know the songs I have and decide what to play depending on my mood. Not to mention I prefer Video clips to just audio only clips.

Seems kind of pointless to rate one's own music collection. I suppose there are those that can create playlists based on ratings, but what would be the point of saying to yourself,"Gee, I think I'll listen to all the songs I gave 2 stars to. I'm in the mood for mediocre music today". ?

Easy:
hey you, son of wife 1, hey you, daughter of mother 3, hey you, son of a bi...
Birthday card: Universal.
Happy XXX - used for birthdays, Xmas, Weddings etc. No names, no events....

And i also don´t rate my kids !

Music files? Favorite player? It looks like english, but I don't understand...

[pstedman]

I don't bother to rate for the same reasons as other have mentioned.

I was on a flight once and watched a guy spend 3 hrs plus rating his iTunes collection. I remember thinking "Wow! What a colossal waste of time that is" Of course what does that say about me as I actually wasted time watching someone wasting time. Maybe there is something to watching paint dry.

Why the hell would I want to ..............?

[dadrab]

Someone mentioned that a rating on a given day would depend upon mood.

Well, of course it would. There is no other art from as emotional as music. It can make a day or break it. It can ruin a made day or brighten a broken one.

So, logically, rating music can't be done.

[ReadB4Assembly]

I don't rate my music. Most of the time my media player will already have the average rating next to it. Why even rate the music...I got it for a reason.
