Star ratings

[honest vortex]

Will there be functionality to add star ratings to songs/albums like on the iTunes/Apple Music app? I like having a visual representation (other than the Love/Dislike buttons) of the songs I like/dislike in my library and wondered if it would be on Cider?

I think that's iTunes feature

although you can like and dislike your songs like on Apple Music app

Apple discontinued the Star rating a long while ago.

There's no endpoints that we have access to that could accomplish this unfortunately.

It's an Apple Music app feature fwiw, just not on the web app

Do all features necessarily have to be connected to Apple Music? I would be fine if Cider had its own rating system. The star ratings just help me remember how I felt about a song.

Not all, they just tend to be a little harder to implement and generally won't stick well if say the app gets updated.

However we may consider adding this as Cider's own community vote system attached to Connect.

So recently I discovered that the Apple Music desktop app has become a thing and it has the Star Ratings System implimented, Smart Playlists too. Does this give any influence to the possibility of Cider offering it? I'm not sure how all this works so I'm just wondering.

Apple Music desktop app for Windows is rebranded iTunes
