As you do have option of rating songs already via love/favorite implementation, some of us like to rate songs and albums 0/5 stars as media servers like subsonic/navidrome allow for it. I would like to request for the ability to do this in Symfonium and have it sync with the star ratings from songs and albums on media servers, for instance navidrome.

Ultrasonic (GitHub - ultrasonic/ultrasonic: Free and open-source music streaming Android client for Subsonic API compatible servers) is the only subsonic/navidrome android player that I know of that allows for rating via stars. Dsub only has a thumbs up/thumbs down rating as far as I know. For now, I use a recently played smart playlist in navidrome and go back and rate songs after I have listened to them on Symfonium.

I thought about this as well. I use 5 stars ratings written in tags to make it compatible with PC Foobar2000. It would be nice to have an option to read/write tags to local library so 5 stars ratings would be usable.

Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars is the third studio album by English electronic music producer Fatboy Slim. It was first released on 6 November 2000 in the United Kingdom by Skint Records and a day later in the United States by Astralwerks. The album features contributions from Macy Gray, Ashley Slater, Bootsy Collins, Roland Clark, and Roger Sanchez, and its title, referenced in the song "Weapon of Choice", is an allusion to the Oscar Wilde quote, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

An edited version also exists, which removes "Star 69" (due to the song's recurring use of the word "fuck", which is the sole reason for obtaining a Parental Advisory label), and removes the song's reprise used in "Song for Shelter".[citation needed] The artwork is also cropped to cut off right before the leg gap, (presumably for the subject likely being nude) and has a mark saying "Kiddies' Clean Version", similar in design to the Parental Advisory label on normal copies.[1]

On the other hand, Pitchfork wrote, "After enjoying a few years of relative popularity, it seems big-beat's appeal and relevance are waning. [...] After listening to Slim's latest, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, it seems we've reached come-down time. And surprise! It's no fun at all", though "the problem lies more with the everchanging landscape of electronic music and the dying big-beat genre than it does with his technical skill."[8] Entertainment Weekly called it "Melodically repetitive, the songs only intermittently approach the energizing highs of earlier Fatboy cuts."[4] Spin called it a "post-masterpiece puzzler where the kicks just keep getting harder to find, spread-eagle between pop limitations and artistic aspirations."[11]

Grrrl Gang's music is a celebration of their collective roots and a testament to the power of pop music to connect people across cultures and borders. Their lyrics touch on themes such as feminism, mental health, and relationships with a raw honesty that speaks to a generation of young listeners. With their infectious energy, socially conscious lyrics, and unique sound, Grrrl Gang is poised to take the global music scene by storm and become a voice for a new generation.

In 2020 we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the eponymous Elliott Smith album by inviting artists we admire to record covers of the songs on that album. We had so much fun with that project that we've decided for 2021 to celebrate our 30th anniversary by expanding the idea to encompass the entire Kill Rock Stars release history.

We've got so many amazing artists onboard already, including much of the current KRS roster, along with lots of folks from our extended family and even some new friends! We are so excited to celebrate the music community we've all grown up in, as well as the friends and fans we've made along the way. With that in mind, please welcome Stars Rock Kill (Rock Stars)

I loved a bit of Paula Abdul long before Britney and Christina came along and long before she revealed herself as being a a few sandwiches short of a pic nic on American Idol. Straight Up is an absolute pop banger which still sounds modern today. The video she did when she appeared to be in a relationship with a cartoon cat was a bit weird though.

Riding very much on the crest of the Alanis Morrissette wave, when Meredith Brooks released Bitch in 1997 I think even blind Freddie could see it had one hit wonder written all over it. Her follow up single I Need was half decent, but without a mild profanity that teenage girls could shout at the top of their voice without getting told off. It peaked at 28 in the UK singles chart and Meredith was never heard of again

Mostly known, or should I say only known for her 1995 song 3 is Family. When I was elbows deep in whatever Hits not Homework would play on a weekday night. This was on all the time. She started life on Broadway before venturing into pop and released two albums in 1991 and 1995 respectively but sadly died from colon cancer in 2010

The 90s were known for a lot of things, for me it was for a shed load of one hit wonders. Deetah had one single, Relax, which reached number 11 in the UK and she also appeared in a Richard Blackwood single in 2000.

One of the (many) things that Ang and I bonded over was the fact that we used to have the same Dannii Minogue poster from Fast Forward magazine on our walls when we were kids. I mean, far be it for me to diss Kylie, everyone loves Kylie, but Dannii was the younger, funner Mingoue sister, especially as she came out with her infections Stock, Aiken and Waterman pop just as Kylie was going all dark and indie. After her pop beginnings she went a bit dancy in the late 90s, then (unpopular opinion) was one of the best judges the X-Factor has ever seen. I mean, how can you be mad at someone who gave us Stacey Soloman?

Hot on the heels of Britney, Christina and Jessica was Mandy who released the poptastic Candy in 1999. She had a few more minor pop hits in the early 00s but never really worried the top ten all that much. She did do a surprisingly good cover album in 2003 which contained a brilliant version of The Whole of the Moon. She turned her back on the music industry however and threw herself successfully into acting most notably staring in This is Us, which I have to watch sparing because it makes me cry too much.

You know what I love? Someone who can laugh at themselves and honour where they come from. How sick of The One & Only do you reckon Chesney is by now? Yet he continues to perform it up and down the country to drunk freshers. He also follows me on twitter and just seems like a thoroughly nice chap.

Another soap star turned singer. Some may argue over which one was his actual calling in life seeing as he never seemed all that comfortable doing either. He overcame this discomfort by taking his top off at every opportunity and everyone was happy. Breathe Again was a good dance tune (music video aside) and he too joined Big Reunion megagroup 5th Story in 2013. He always seemed like a nice lad though.

American John Paul Larkin was born with a severe stutter and so decided to use that to his advantage with his music. Most known in the UK for Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) which reached number 3 in the UK charts. He released 2 further albums in 1996 and 1999 but sadly passed away in 1999 after collapsing on stage after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Shaggy seems to be one if those people who releases a decent album every 15 years or so then disappears for a bit. Oh Carolina came out when there was LOADS of reggae inspired tunes around, then later in the early 2000s was It Wasnt Me (although I suspect it was really) . He opened for the Backstreet Boys on their Black & Blue tour in 2001 (what a show that would have been!) And he continues to be a massive in Jamaica. Last year he released an album with Sting. Random.

No contemporary songwriter has had a greater effect on my life than Andrew Peterson. His first album appeared the year I moved to Romania as a missionary student, and since that time, his songs have become part of the soundtrack for my life and faith.

Tonight I saw the children in their rooms
Little flowers all in bloom
Burning suns and silver moon
And somehow in that starry sky
The image of the Maker lies
Right here beneath my roof tonight.

I debated whether or not to include this album in this guide, since technically it is a compilation of Andrew Peterson songs. But because it contains several unreleased songs as well as several new versions of old songs, I thought it best to offer a brief review.

The Son will stand on the mount again
with an army of angels at his command,
and the earth will split like the hull of a seed
wherever Jesus plants his feet,
and up from the grave the dead will rise
like spring trees clothed in petals of white,
singing the song of the radiant bride.
