Basically I like to be able to rate my own tracks... However I am only likely to do that to songs that I really like or don't like... This is what I would like to see happen.

Drop the 1-100 score (retain it as a tooltip)  and have all (5 star) ratings automatically generated by default.... The stars would be say green in colour.
If I rate a track manually the star color should change to Yellow and the computer will stop rating this track. (There would be a right click menu item that would say "let the computer rate this track" on tracks that you have manually set. Clicking this menu item would turn the stars back to green and the computer would keep rating them.

Comments?

Interesting !
Rather than choosing a different color for User/computer ratings, I'd prefer having the computer 'virtual' rating half-transparent for example. 

Yeah that works for me...

Great idea! The confusion would end!

!! v.good idea!! I would love to see this implemented  in Amarok

Yeah I agree too ! Good idea !

I love this idea.  If you want to see it in action, check out Windows Media Player - that's how it works now.

Definitely keep the scores in the background though, so we can have album calculations.  I hide the score anyways as I find it affects my listening habits when I can see the score beside the songs.

Cheers!

Better than the current solution. I think.
Why not post it to bugs.kde.org and see what the devs think?
