How to remove hollow / transparent stars in iTunes
Actually have a slight bit of downtime this week so I’m spending it doing a buncha tasks I’ve been putting off, like clean up my amazingly chaotic music library.
One thing that was driving me crazy was removing all the transparent / hollow stars from my iTunes library. After some googling and tweaking, finally figured it out:
- Select “Grid View” by pressing this button.
- Press “Apple key ⌘ + A” to select all – CTRL+A if you’re using a PC
- Right click and select “Album Rating > None”
You’re done. 5 seconds.
There’s never a time when you’re just done with stuff – everything is a constant maintenance issue. Just the way it is, I guess. Sometimes, feel like it’s like playing Whack-a-Mole where, once you solve one small issue, a new one pops up.
Off to wrestle…
