Half star rating system for local files/provider

Feature description:

Half star rated songs info would be stored in symfonium database instead writing or overwriting files metadata

Problem solved:

It’s not a problem but this can helps to keep more organized people music collection/library

Brought benefits:

Many people would love a local music player with this feature

Other application solutions:

 
Plexamp have this feature, they stored all data in their servers I guess but i prefer Symfonium over plexamp cuz plexamp lacks on synced lyrics page, the multi artist feature and Symfonium is much more customizable (thanks for that, you are doing a great job)
 

Additional description and context:

Why do you need half stars over just full stars that are already preset.

Half stars would let us rating with “accuracy” our music library just like musicbee or plexamp, I would prefer rate starting from 3 stars then 3.5, 4, 4.5 and 5.
Why people would have 1 or 2 stars songs in their libraries? Searching in multiple forums from different music players and music forums I think many people will be happy with this feature.

So you want to use 5 rating steps for your songs, but it should not be 1-2-3-4-5 because 1 and 2 look bad? :wink:

It’s not about looking good or bad , it’s about organization, with a half star rating system people will have 10 options to rate their songs instead just 5, it would be more “accurate” than the actual full stars system

Half stars have been recently implemented. Is there a setting to disable them and use the previous 1 to 5 stars ratings?

It is in Settings → Database.

After reading your suggestion I went to the database settings but I did not find any option for that.
Then I updated the Symfonium app and the initial changelog mentions that as a new option.
Splinter, thank you for your reply.
And also, thank you Tolriq for adding it as fast (and the amazing app, of course)
