With all the hard work behind, the long sleepless nights, and the challenges, this was a double effort project:
- Building the first True music rating system and a web-service.
- And writing the first book that covers everything about music rating.
Book Description
The Art of Rating Music is a journey into the world of music exploration.
The book provides practical and conceptual context to one of the biggest challenges in today’s music landscape – how to match listeners with their music.
This book covers the principles of music rating, and shows how to adopt the concept towards expanding music exploration and having a blast on everyday music sessions.
Music rating systems are an essential missing component in today’s music landscape.
Many services have emerged trying to solve this problem, providing users with star ratings, numeric scale ratings, likes, votes, recommendations and alike.
However, none of these services have proved to really measure the quality of music, nor have they succeeded to provide true music ratings.
The Art of Rating Music introduces the principles of music rating systems, the concept, the benefits, and the practical use of applying music ratings.
The book goes beyond music rating - from a tool that efficiently measures the quality of music, to a working system that makes better selections of music, and ultimately the adoption of the concept towards expanding music exploration; - having a blast on every music session.
“AllMusicRating is the best help I've found when it comes to rating
music albums, and it made me reconsider all the albums I've listened to
- starting from 0 all over again.”
Niels Gheyle - Ghent, Belgium
