Or what about using stars and o's. So you have:
4 **** favorite 4 3 *** best 3 2 ** good 2 1 * ok 1 0 normal (unrated) 0 shft-1 o doable -1 shft-2 oo bad -2 shft-3 ooo worse -3 shft-4 oooo hate it -4
shift-1 = ! and so on, so these keybindings cannot work. The o's would be nice, though.
Indeed. I first thought about 1-9, but that is more awkward. (1 ending up with 4 o's and 4 ending up with 1 o :))
Would ctrl or alt be useful ? Can you trap those keys (instead of checking what character had been used). Since keyboards differ, you can't simply rely on what character was used for input.
This would give a much better rating system that can be misused.
Of course this had to be: cannot be misused.
Except for the fact that there are 9 levels, I do not see any major difference to the current system.
Well, the problem with 1 to 5 is that people might put a different meaning to each number. I am using 5 for 'special songs', 4 for whatever I think is good. With only 2 positive ratings I fear people might be using 3 for something different than unrated.
With a negative and positive balanced view, you can have 4 character positions to indicate the rating and it's clear that 0 is unrated/normal.
That was the only point I had.
