Love your Music? of course you do! Hate opening up an app/ iTunes just so you can rate music… better yet do you not bother rating your music? Well you really need to check out I love Stars 2.. this little charm has saved me so much time rating my music that I now enjoy it.

So.. What is I love stars 2?

“I Love Stars” is my new freebie application that shows the rating of iTunes’ currently playing song in the menu bar. Before I say anything else, here’s the download link.

I spent a good part of yesterday solving a problem that’s been bugging me. That is, how to rate songs in iTunes with as few brain cycles as possible.
You tend to get distracted switching back and forth from iTunes and even rating songs with iTunes’ dock menu is not fast enough when your hands are on the keyboard. Apps like QuickSilver and CoverSutra already solve a big chunk of the problem by letting you assign keyboard shortcuts for raising and lowering ratings—I have command-option-control-up and down arrow set to raise and lower the rating, for example—but I needed a way to quickly see what the rating actually is before changing it.
If you cringe at the thought of having unrated songs in the library like I do, you’ll enjoy I Love Stars. Mainly, it’s there to show the rating, but you can adjust it with the mouse as well.

I have customized keyboard shortcuts for ilovestars 2, I simply press option up or option down and I can rate the current playing song.. SIMPLE.

This app works great with Coversutra.. I highly suggest you grab that app and run them together… thank me later.
