Before going back on topic... just like this :)

 

A track can get a / (not good enough, a * = good, a ** Super good and a *** SUPERB)

Then, I divide into a genre... I made 50 genres for myself (Floating goa, normal goa, acidic goa, forest,...)

Then, BPMs :)

 

Hallucinogen - Soothsayer - Tip Singles 2 - Goa-Trance - 1997 - * - 2 - 140

 

it took me 8 years in excel, over 15000 tracks, but now my collection is almost finished like that :) the next thing = my unreleased and the online only releases rating like that :)

A lot of music programs have a track rating function as well. Those ratings are usually saved into the tag data (for a FLAC/mp3), so as long as you keep using the same program it will see your ratings. You can also use the "group/category" in a FLAC/mp3 if you want to transfer the ratings between different programs (that may use a different ratings tag).

 

As for calculating an album rating from those track ratings that can be a bit more complicated, but you can do it with MediaMonkey+Magic Nodes, or MusicBee, for example. I'm not sure that is the best way to judge an album though. Some albums may be more than the sum of their parts, or less.

 

If you track all of your listening with last.fm that's probably a pretty good way to judge how much you like an album. If you listen to an album a lot, that probably means you like it a lot. The only issue there is that trance tracks tend to be a lot longer than most music, so judging only by the number of tracks played may not be the most accurate. For a time-based chart http://www.normalisr.com/ is great though.

 

As for the actual topic, hmmm I will have to go think about it for awhile. :)

threads like this makes me cry :(

 

I get so sad when I see lists who dont include my favorites! Makes me lose hope in mankind :(

 

Nah just kidding. But seriously, it does.

 

 

I will not make a list because its too hard and Id rather kill myself than have to choose between for example Blue Planet Corp and Pleiadians

wow dude, that is amazing work.

I would LoVE to have that in my collection... sounds exactly like the way I would want it..

 

Me, i just put "xxx" before the artist name, if the track is masterpiece.

then when im done i have a "xxx" .m3u with all the epicness. or if i load my full library i just type the J key in winamp, and type in xxx and i get them all.

only problem is ive listened to my "xxx" tracks so many times they are now boring -.-

 

ps. I love that you have Yahel - waves of sound in the list :) Last Man In The Universe <3333
