Like I said, RATING has lost importance in the corporate view.
I'd venture to say, this forum will be gone first.
To be motivational.
Ok, I'll motivate. Prognostications aside, this quote is from the WHATS NEW post of the most recent NEWS. You may have seen it. "One thing we didnât mess with: the forum. Some ecosystems are best left undisturbed."
That doesn't mean it will always be here, of course, but for now it is here. Organic and potentially relevant at any given moment, monument, something....
The ratings appear to be recorded in the system and in your ratings profile, oddly, they just are not displayed on the song page right after you rate it.

I'm just damn glad RP exists at all. The magic of music is a medicine from the Gods.
All of William's work, effort, staff, enthusiasm is immeasurable. Incredible tech advances and most beloved, my own favs list at my fingertips, at any time is a privilege I'm more than happy to monthly tithe to.
Thusly, it's a thing of the past I meant to say.
Imagine 20 million listeners tagging 400 million liked songs in your backyard and you ought to keep track of it.
Not me.

The song rating function works, but for some reason, the rating doesn't show up unless you refresh the page or go back to the playlist, but your rating is recorded.
âThe more you struggle to make it lifelike the less like life it becomes. But since a work of art is an illusion anyway, if you heighten the illusory quality, then you come closer to the effect of life.â - Alberto Giacometti
That's what ART truly is: To show us something in a manner we've never 'seen' before. An artist's perception; interpretation.
As a retired Science Textbook Illustrator, It's one thing to have the talent to replicate; but to express a previously unknown sense of texture, color, a different perspective and expression of any image is real Creativity, imho. (Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso) Well trained, one can become a musical instrument prodigy, but cannot write the inspiring music to express itself. Talent is one thing; true Creativity doesn't always bundle with it.

“That which we do not bring to consciousness appears in our lives as fate.”
“Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.”
ââThis City. These People. All Sheep, And I Am Their Shepherd,â
Says Eric Adams, Looking Out Over New Yorkâ The Onion.
âWithout me, without my power and my will, each of these 8 million souls would be condemned to a wretched life and death amidst a twisted, seething cesspool of humanity. As they cling to a crumbling precipice, they reach out, in their desperation, to the one man whose whims control their destiny: to me, to their protector, to New Yorkâs greatest benefactor, to Eric Adams!â At press time, sources reported Adam had retired for the night to his apartment in New Jersey.â ⢠New Jersey? Maybe. Do readers have more current information?
