This is pretty much exactly what I’ve been looking for—a way to interrupt myself while an unrated song is playing so that I can slap some stars on. Otherwise, I forget to check much too easily. Perfect!
While iTunes playing, select “Rate Me! Rate Me!” from iTunes’ Scripts Menu. The script’s icon will appear in the Dock and it will run in the background. When an un-rated song begins playing the script will display a dialog in whatever application you are working in (part of the script’s charm is its intrusiveness) to let you enter a rating:• Actually, the script waits about 45 seconds into each new track before presenting the dialog box, allowing you to be sufficiently “in the groove” when it does pop up.
• There are two ways to apply Ratings. Enter a number between 0 and 5 for no stars through 5 stars. Append a “+” to indicate 1/2. Any other number entered from 10 through 100 will be used as the Rating value. (Some people may want to use an incremental ratings system; tracks will be sorted by My Rating according to their actual Rating value. This is a number between 0 - 100.
• Click on “Quit” to stop the applet. You can also Control-click its icon in the Dock and select Quit from the pop-up.
