Stars for OS X. All songs by the stars

If you're a longtime user and enjoy iTunes to keep your music library in order, you are sure to use ratings. But to place the stars in the program directly or through the context menu of its icon in the Dock - uncomfortable. Much easier to put tracks assessment, without being distracted by iTunes at all. To do this, you can get a small but very useful utility Stars.

Personally, I always follow that in my entire library were put up ratings. This is one of the main criteria by which one can endlessly be smart lists steeper tough for all occasions and sift through garbage, casually lying around in the depths of "tuna".

Oddly enough, the Apple does not attach particular importance to how to iTunes implemented nomination rating of current music. The easiest way - to keep in the mind the mini-player, which through the ellipsis button, you can assign a rating from one to five stars. But the rating can be set simply by pressing a convenient shortcut. Or click on the menu bar. Or even just a swipe of the finger across the touch surface of the mouse or trackpad.

Stars just allows you to distribute all of the songs by the stars, not looking up from another application. Click convenient for keyboard shortcut - and the composition of the moment get the desired rating. If you like more with the mouse - click on the rating scale, which displays the Stars on the right in the menu bar. Or it is possible not to click - the rating is set and gesture scroll when the cursor is on the same scale. In this case, you will see another cover of the current track and the basic playback controls.

If you forget to put the assessment track, Stars reminded of this through a system notification. Moreover, this feature can be configured to respond to the utility of the composition without a rating only when the nth number of plays. And, you can choose which specific types of media and genres Stars should bother you.

Cool. This small and discreet programmulina, and with it much more convenient to direct marafet in the library is literally in the background. For a complete happiness can still be done to Stars conceal its scale in the menu bar when iTunes is silent - and the perfect "zvezdomet" ready to go. :)
