| Profile/rate titles
|
|
|
| If you really want to produce playlists that are mixed at their best and mirror exactly your requirements and your mood - you have to profile and rate these titles.
|
|
|
| The profiling/ rating criteria should have been already defined in the program settings definiert, the first category should always reflect your preference ( favourites, liking)
|
| If you have now decided on the other criteria as well you can start profiling.
|
|
|
| You can rate titles in every title collection but also in wantlists - you can not rate titles in a finished play list table!
|
| All rating can be done separately, directly in the table or a whole bunch of titles as mass rating.
|
|
|
| In some cases it could be clever to set up a new title collection or want list especially for the rating process. You can always delete those lists later, after you have finished.
|
|
|
| You can enter each rating value directly into the respective columns and fields.
|
|
|
| In order to do some mass rating you have to go through the following process:
|
|
|
1) Select all titles from a collection or want list, you want to rate with either [left mause click into emtpty left column + shift] or [ mouse click + Ctrl], then press the right mouse button in the left empty column and select the menu option [change song- ratings] or simply use the  rating icon.

|
|
|
| The rating module opens :
|
|
|
|
|
|
| There are 5 switches for the five rating criteria you have defined. Each switch can be activated separately. Only activated critera will be rated. I
|
|
|
| G You don't have to rate all criteria at once- you can rate them separately!
|
|
|
|
|
| The small boxes right of the criteria is where you enter the appropriate rating value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accept the rating values with the  - button and these values will be entered into the database.
|
|
|
| G Tipp : everytime you have rated a bunch of titles - don't click into the table right away (that will remove the marking of the titles) ! If by chance you had rated wrongly you can use the [change song ratings] again ( since titles are still selected) to undo the last rating.
|
|
|
| If you realize too late that you have made a mistake you can also search for titles that have been changed at the actual date and since that table also displays the time you can probably easily find them again.
|
|
|
| If you do a mass rating of many titles you can actually view how Moodmixer enters those new values bit by bit into the database. ( i.e 5000 titles take up roughly 15-20 seconds on a 2,4 Ghz PC)

You can also rate titles in the title editor  ! Then its being done via the controllers in the editor window:
