Description Sebastien Bacher 2004-06-14 22:39:56 UTC 
This bug has been reported in the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/254471

"The use of little and big stars in the ratings can be a little confusing.  For
example: when generating an automatic playlist the initial 5 little stars led my
to conclude that it was selecting 5 star rated songs.

I'd suggest stars and dots instead and making the default rating for the
automatic playlist generation 3 (instead of 0) stars so it is more obvious to
the user what the symbols mean."

I've made a white dot in 16x16 px.
I attach it.

Personally, I think the little star looks better than the dot, when next to the big stars. But that's just me.
