in my opinion it is better that reviews should be on 10 stars.if someone wants to put 3,5 stars on an album he must put 3 or 4 stars.but if he could judje in 10 stars he could put 7. well the lists of the best albums would be more accurate excuse my bad english ------------- for any comments:[email protected] |

Yes, that would be good, there would be more differences within the various albums. Now there are many albums, rated the same, but which are actually totally different in their degree of brilliance.
0%-100% would also be a good idea! -------------

10 stars would be good in principle, but what would you do about all the existing ratings? I guess all you could do is double their existing rating, but then you'd end up with a load of 10 out of 10s, which would definitely be wrong. |

| I like that 1-15 system. Just like the regular five stars, but more accurate. |

It seems like a really good idea. There are way to many 5 stars albums as it is, meaning it's to easy to rate an album you have heard maybe just a few times much to high. It would problaby be a lot of 8 and 9 stars ratings aswell as maybe 2 and 3 stars but I believe is harder to give maximum score without twisting your brain a bit. ------------- We're only in it for the music!!! |

Yeah - I like that idea as well! Although I'm a bigger fan of classic 10 star ratings.. but the 15 are far better then the darn 5 stars ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

What about an 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 option along with the standard 1,2,3,4,5 option. Like this:
Instead of this:
Also, the average rating of an album would be more accurate. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

would be kind of a 10 star rating.
But this could work well. Many reviewers wrote anything like 4.5, etc, but then they gave it 4 stars. Well, anyone would have to check every review and change it then. That would be a possibility to introduce a 10 star system without deleting all the ratings and the average rating for the albums from 1-5 would remain as well. -------------

5, 10, 15 - it is all silly. Any attempt to "grade" Art is just absurd. If you have something to say - say it, forget the grades. Would you grade paintings? sculptures? poems? ------------- Adam Baruch https://www.jazzis.com/shop/default.asp?s=progarchives - Jazzis Web Shop http://www.adambaruch.com/ - Adam's Web Site |

sure. As long as you keep in mind that the ratings are subjective, they can be used for many useful things. One of them is recommendations. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I strongly support a 10-star system for good reasons. The number one
reason is that under the 5 star system, people tend to rate 5 starts to
any album they like-- although that album may not be a 'master-piece'.
What they really want to do is put a 4.5 star rating. Its not possible
in the 5 star system. Secondly, in the 5 star system-- there is no way you can give an album a 50-50 credit/discredit. The flaw is built-in for you to either put a nice- 50/50 album to either a better album rank or worse album rank. |

I would support a 10 or 15 star system if the system was designed to let reviewers go back and adjust their previous reviews' ratings. In other words, old reviews on the five-star system would be doubled. Then reviewers, at their leisure, would adjust their ratings to what they feel appropriate (i.e., the 10 should really be a 9, etc.). Admittedly that would take quite some time and some people may not bother readjusting (for some that would mean hundreds of changes!). The 15-star system could be set the middle value of the sets of three, and then reviewers could adjust accordingly after the change was made. That does sound like a lot of work, but it wouldn't be fair to move a 5-star album to a 10-star album if the reviewer prefers it to be 9 stars and has no convenient way of changing it. Resubmitting reviews would be way too much work One of those things that hindsight always does. |
