Rating in Rhapsody
You can rate tracks,
albums, artists and playlists to customize and personalize your Rhapsody
experience.
Throughout Rhapsody, you'll find Rating Selectors.
Click a star to attach a rating to the track, album or
playlist it is associated with. From left to right, one star indicates
a less-favored track
, and five stars indicates a more-favored
track
. Click
to ban the item so it will
not appear in My Rhapsody. You
can change a rating at any time -- just click a different star.
You can even rate Rhapsody
tracks on your Rhapsody MP3 Player, and when
you connect your device to your computer while signed in to your Rhapsody
account, your ratings will be saved to the Rhapsody servers
(any machine or program that is ‘serving’ information to another machine or program; RealServers, for instance, serve content to Rhapsody).
Rhapsody track ratings are part of your portable
Library. Your ratings will be available whenever you sign
in to your Rhapsody account, from
any computer.
Have fun with rating in Rhapsody. The more you rate, the better your personalized
music experience will be.
