I removed half-star ratings from iTunes. It takes too much thinking and looks ugly. Just look at a list of tracks like this:
***½
****½
**½
*****
***½
****
*½
***½
It looks confusing and I can't quickly pick out the best tracks (unless I order them by rating). I replaced my thinking like this:
10/9 -> 5 (best ever OR outstanding)
8 -> 4 (great)
7 -> 3 (good)
6/5 -> 2 (average)
4/3/2/1 -> 1 (bad)
The list of stars above would now look like this:
***
*****
**
*****
***
****
*
***
My point is that "average/ok" should not be in the middle. If a track is bad, I don't care if it's very bad or not. That's why "average/ok" should be 2 stars in a 5-star or 4-star rating system.
