Feature description:
It would be great if we could have the option to rate songs from 1-5 stars like most databases support.
I’m not too fussed on how this would be implemented. It could be:
-
You push the rating button, five stars pop up, and you click the rating you want to give the song.
-
The icon is just a star with a number over it, denoting how many stars the song has. Clicking on it, cycles through them.
Or even something else.
I’d imagine option 2 would be easiest on dev time and would also be safer considering this might be used while driving.
Again, not fussed on how it works, I’d just love the granularity of using the whole 5 star rating system.
For example, I use 1 star to mark the song for deletion. With the current rating system (3 tiers) that just leaves me with either good/bad song, which isn’t really enough to categorize music.
Problem solved:
Removes the current issue of limited granularity of the rating system on Android auto, compared to what the back-end offers (3 ratings, vs 5).
Brought benefits:
Increased diversity of ratings in the music library so the user can better organise their music.

The attached image is a very quickly done mock-up in MSpaint to show what I envision option 2 looking like.
