An iTunes Song Rating Tray Icon Utility
iTSongRater is a free Windows utility designed to replace the iTunes system tray icon in order to make it easier to rate and interact with tracks in your library.
iTSongRater lets you change the rating of a song immediately after you right click the tray icon. The default iTunes tray icon keeps the star rating settings in a sub-menu, which adds one extra time consuming step every time you want to change the rating of the current track when iTunes is minimized.
iTSongRater also lets you give tracks half star ratings. Currently, there is no way to do this within iTunes, even though it is designed to display half ratings.
Features:
- Change the current song’s rating directly from the tray icon right click menu
- Supports half star ratings
- Change ratings for a selected group of songs
- Allows you to edit the play count for one or more selected songs
- “Advance” feature increments the play count of the currently playing song, then skips to the next track
- It’s free!
Release Notes:
v1.1 – 2/1/2010
Tested on Windows XP/Vista/7. iTunes is required to already be installed.

Thank you.
Seriously, little things like this make impractical software practical.
Thanks for your time.
1. do you have an flattr account?
2. Awesome tool!!!! Finally I can edit the song play count!!!
3. one question though: Do you have any idea why the half song ratings are only shown in the advanced song info and not in the song lists?
(I would prefer an answer via email, since I probably wont check this site regularly)
4. another thought:
What do you think about an option “skip + 1 skip count” for when you skip a song after 1 minute?
Hey klyonrad, For #3 – Do you mean they don’t show in the iTunes song list in the program itself? There is a bit of a hack to let half star ratings get displayed… I made a blog post about it here: http://www.briandalessandro.com/blog/give-songs-half-star-ratings-in-itunes-10-for-windows/
