I like to use a 5-point rating system. What the points mean differs slightly from medium to medium, so here’s what it means for songs.

A few rules.

• No half or quarter points. We’re not splitting hairs here. We’re categorizing.
• Every song starts with no ⭐.
• In Apple Music, all songs rated ⭐⭐⭐ or above get a ❤️. Every song rated ⭐⭐ or below gets a 💔.

1 ⭐ – poorly recorded, out of tune, not even a song

2 ⭐⭐ – a song I don’t like

3 ⭐⭐⭐ – a song that’s fine

4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – a pretty good song

5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – a song that causes an involuntary emotional reaction
