Just for info, the metadata sites have a "total" rating (TADB is out of 10 now since Kodi changed/Allmusic is out of 5 still) and I find it very cool to look through the ratings of other users just as I do my TVShows and Movies.

Just looking at the Top 100 All-time Chart shows some great albums that I have gone on to listen to. Drilling down to say Beyonce's latest album and its medicure scores, also helps my music selection choice.

Hopefully in the future more users like and rate albums/tracks to make this data better and more relevant.

I'm a big fan of rating tracks myself, to remind me of good tunes, so the user rating feature is a big thing for me too. Hopefully both work well in the future as the data matures.

EDIT: I was a big fan of the 0-5 rating system and mentioned it during the PR, but it was mentioned that actually thats up to the skin on how its shown (it can still be 5 stars, half stars whatever the skinner decides). So actually now we have consistency and choice.

I'd try the nightly if album ratings were not doubled, I believe that bug was recently fixed as Dave mentioned.

EDIT2: Also i'm looking at a way to cloud store user music ratings so we don't loose them on each kodi database reset. Just like the Trakt Addon does now for watched statuses. No takeup yet from any python developer, but I've made an API available for anyone to write an Add-on to do it The end game being that you could rate a track on the TADB site and it would sync with every kodi instance automatically keeping your ratings backed up and available to multiple clients anywhere in the world!
