Rating bar option for string actions

Feature description:

It would be cool to add a rating bar as an option for string actions, so it doesn’t take up as much valuable vertical space on the Now playing screen

Problem solved:

It allows for a cleaner and feature-packed setup, giving more options than quick rate

Brought benefits:

Takes up less vertical space while allowing you to rate tracks more accurately

Other application solutions:

 
I haven’t seen this in other apps(maybe Poweramp but I don’t remember), so it could be a unique feature

I think it may be easier to give more sizing options for the current rating bar. Mayne after small theres XS or XXS mini / micro perhaps.

Idk I don’t think that would fit my setup. I just need the rating bar next to the title of the playing track

Ahh I see what you mean. You’re looking more for the rating bar to be added as a String Icon Action. Then it would be in line with any given string & presumably smaller than the standard bar.

I was originally thinking you just wanted something smaller in general & not necessarily in line with a pre-existing string.

I think that would be a cool addition though. My rating bar is a recreation using literal star characters but I don’t set my ratings in Symfonium so a feature like this hadn’t crossed my mind lol

Yeah fair enough since actively rating tracks isn’t that popular of a feature

The only issues I can see with it is how it would handle long strings. Perhaps it could collapse until you interact with it

If you had the Title Alongside the rating it would either en dlong titles with an elipse or you could maybe have Marque text that scrolls longer titles

I think marquee text is the way to go. Thanks for the idea!
