How to rate my music on Sansa Clip+ ???

[ovidius]

Hello rockbox fans and developers!

I recently added the software (ver. 3.13) on my Sansa Clip+ device so I'm kinda newbie..
My question is: how can I rate (1 to 5 stars) the songs that I'm listening to?
(I've already searched this forum for an answer, but without noticeable results.)

In the original Sansa crappy software there was a possibility to rate them, but in MyTopRated meniu only 4and5 stars appear altogether.

So how can I rate them and find the grouped on 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 stars folders/menus?
Please help me to rate my huge mp3 collection.

Thank you very much.

You can rate your music by using the wps context menu:

With all respect: i've just read the infos in the link, BUT I didn't find things related to rating.
Could you be more specific, please?
Thank you!

Humm, are you sure, you scrolled all the way down and read the whole section 4.3.3 of the manual? But anyway:

Press long "Select" when in the WPS and playing a song. This will bring up the described context menu. After "Playlist" and "Sound settings" etc. you find the setting "Rating"

Rating

The menu entry is only shown if Gather Runtime Information is enabled. It allows the assignment of a personal rating value (0 – 10) to a track which can be displayed in the WPS and used in the Database browser. The value wraps at 10.

Right now I'm with my mp3 player in my hands.
During playback I pressed (long) the select button
I have the following sub-menu

Playlist
Playlist Catalogue
Sound Settings
Playback Settings
Bookmarks
PictureFlow
Show Track Info
Open With...
Delete
Pitch


That's IT. No RATING menu....

How about:
" if Gather Runtime Information is enabled" ?

OK. I just did that, too.
After thison the menu appears Set song rating, BUT when I click on it, it says "no info"

Gee... why is that so hard to have a rate system, anyway__???

I think the database must be initialized too. I always have my database initialized, but when first changing the setting for "gathering runtime data" I got the <no info> message too when trying to rate the song. But after restarting my player and browsing through my files and selecting a new one to play the rating function worked.
