Thanks for your tip about using smart playlists to find unrated songs, and rate them one by one.
It’s a bit of a pain in iTunes on OS X, because if you rate a song while it’s playing, the song instantly vanishes and stops playing.
But if you create an “unrated” playlist (without any “limit to” setting) and use that as the source for iTunes DJ, the experience is perfectly smooth. Songs do not vanish as soon as you rate them, and you see a never ending list of 15 songs to choose from, and you can see the last 5 played songs, to rate them.

Love Frame Rate, and listen each week. I wish you guys would give Vudu a little more love. I still buy some blu rays to take advantage of my 55 inch vizio and the HD sound on the disk but Vudu comes the closest to the Blu Ray experience. Netflix should snatch up the guys at Vudu that do the UI and the search. All the search features on Vudu is amazing, and Netflix should be ashamed when they look at it.Keep up the good work .
@acedtect Can you help us out with a starters guide of recommendation for reading Science Fiction and Fantasy?
Frame Rate 85 in the spoiler you stated that the teachers were the worst paid profession – not true in California. Take a gander at a local school board meeting and you will soon find that the teachers are paid more than you. And just think of the benefit package!
