Ninko 78 Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Hi, Is Emby meant to grab community ratings for music from musicbrainz or other data provider? As mine doesn't! Thanks
Luke 42077 Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 HI, at this time, there isn't' really much of a source for this information.
Ninko 78 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Posted June 30, 2022 Just an example of ratings on musicbrainz... https://musicbrainz.org/release/4d3b6105-4ecd-3a50-87f0-d9c9e4f777c3

That's a fairly famous album from Queen, and even that only has 12 people who have rated it on MusicBrainz. To me that data does not seem worth it.
Ninko 78 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Posted June 30, 2022 Why have a "community rating" field in music metadata then?
Luke 42077 Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 I agree it would be nice, I just wish we had a better data source.

There probably isn't going to be a good (inexpensive / open source) database to get music ratings from that would be useful for the majority??? At the moment, I'm finding that MusicBrainz can be very 'hit-or-miss' with all of its data (not just ratings), depending on whether an Artist is popular or not. For me, given a choice,, I'd much rather assign my own ratings to Songs/Albums/Artists for Music, than see an aggregated community rating like that which Emby has for Movies (Note: I have nothing against the Movies function, as it is now). What would others like to have? As Emby isn't currently fetching any "Community rating" for music now, and it seems this isn't going to be likely soon, why not just rename it as "User rating" for music. Much of the functionality is already there, as far as I tell (from limited testing). The ratings scale is very useable for either 1-5 stars or 0.1 to 10 rating. and some display and sorting options already work. Is this an easy way to get a basic function in place sooner rather than later??? And then potentially refine further, based on feedback. Thanks!
Luke 42077 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I don’t think repurposing it for user ratings makes sense.
