Thanks for the reply and explanation. Much appreciated! I can see the logic behind it not being included. I guess the sensible thing would be to favourite albums and rate my individual tracks within that album as a workaround. Im pretty new to all this and its my first real attempt at upkeep of a growing digital collection. I am blown away by the quality of the plug ins for all this, I downloaded ratings last night and my instinct was to rate the album I just listened to (for the first time) so I thought Id ask the question.
