Wait, you can star-rating AND heart songs? Why? Why both?

Wait, you can star-rating AND heart songs? Why? Why both?
- JoBrad 10y agoProbably to accommodate people who just want the like system, and people who want a more complex system.

- firasd 10y agoI think the heart is new while the star-ratings have always been there.
- kalleboo 10y agoThe hearts affect Apple Music algorithms. The stars are legacy (I don't even think the new iOS Music app has a way to see/change them, or I just can't find it in that tire-fire of a UI)
- systoll 10y agoStars are old; hearts are new; stars are gone by default, but you can turn them back on in the settings. Why there's no conversion factor [EG: heart = 5 stars], i don't know
- sooheon 10y agoThere's no reason to convert backwards if they want to phase out stars. Also, I'm guessing they hope to make the act of pressing heart an "experience" for the listener. Give everyone the joy of professing your love of a song to their algorithms. I know I got a dialog playing it up the first time I pressed the heart.
