Of course, it could still be argued that embarking on a project like this is increasingly difficult in an era of streaming and fragmented taste. (As in 2003, we allowed votes for compilations and greatest-hits albums, mainly because a well-made compilation can be just as coherent and significant as an LP, because compilations helped shaped music history, and because many hugely important artists recorded their best work before the album had arrived as a prominent format.) When we first did the RS 500 in 2003, people were talking about the “death of the album.” The album -and especially the album release - is more relevant than ever. The electorate includes Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish rising artists like H.E.R., Tierra Whack, and Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail as well as veteran musicians, such as Adam Clayton and the Edge of U2, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, Gene Simmons, and Stevie Nicks. To do so, we received and tabulated Top 50 Albums lists from more than 300 artists, producers, critics, and music-industry figures (from radio programmers to label heads, like Atlantic Records CEO Craig Kallman). So we decided to remake our greatest albums list from scratch. But no list is definitive - tastes change, new genres emerge, the history of music keeps being rewritten. Over the years, it’s been the most widely read - and argued over - feature in the history of the magazine (last year, the RS 500 got over 63 million views on the site). So, right now, the only solution to this is to manually un-rate any such albums every time I notice such black album rating, which can take a long time, since iTunes keeps rating new albums every now and then.Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time was originally published in 2003, with a slight update in 2012. I tried to create a Smart Playlist, so that I can manually un-rate them, but it will list all my albums, both manually and automatically rated, which are many hundreds. This is very inconvenient, as it adds automatic grey ratings to many songs I have not even listened to yet, thus invalidating most of my smart playlists (my library relies on ratings a lot). However, in 12.2 and 12.2.1, I see that some albums get an automatic black rating, as if I have manually rated them (which I haven't). when you manually rate an album, the rest of the songs of the album get an automatic (grey) rating as well.manual ratings are black, automatic ratings are grey.you can also manually rate an album, overriding the automatic rating.the album automatically takes an average 3-star rating.you rate a song of a certain album with 2 stars and another with 4 stars.I have followed this new bug, and I believe I understand what it does.īefore 12.2, iTunes has an automatic album rating system: Nowhere that I can see is there an option to clear the album rating for all songs.ĭoes anyone know of a quick way to remove the album rating for all songs without having to go into Album Display mode and change all albums individually?Īpple - can you please put a setting in iTunes to unlink the song and album ratings? This has become a sore spot for me in iTunes and I have loved the software since 2006. However I want to clear the album rating for ALL SONGS and so I selected all the songs that have an album rating, and clicked Get Info. So finally I'm finding the album rating and am able to change it. I guess I can see the usefulness of this rating, but why Apple would make the Album rating mess with the individual song ratings is beyond me - in fact, I thought it's a bug. I don't know when this was added to iTunes as I have never used it before, but it is certainly becoming a pest now. After going through much frustration, I finally came across something in these forums called the "Album Rating". It looked peculiar because it seemed to change all of the songs in a particular album. I just upgraded to iTunes 12.2 and now my individual song ratings seemed to have gotten a grayed out star rating system.
