Muziboo Rating System – Nearing Superannuation?

Nithya posted

In the recent past there have been very many heated discussions on the utility of the current Rating system. This made us look into the Rating stats and this is what we discovered :

A staggering 91% of the votes are 5 stars. Close to 7% of the votes are 1 star. Which makes the rest almost negligible.

So what does this indicate? A majority of the users are prompted to rate a song when they are either ‘Wow’ed by it or when they don’t like it at all. A bad song for most part prompts indifference. Thus the current Rating system does not serve anything nobler than letting listeners convey if they like a song or not.

Hence, we are retiring the ‘Rating’ feature in the To-be-released Muziboo version and replacing it with the ‘Like / Thumbs Up’ feature similar to the one in Facebook. The point to note is that there would be no ‘Thumbs Down’ considering the imbalance we see in the 91-7 split. We believe, this system will be more effective in declaring ones love for a song.

In the new version, all votes with ratings 4 and above will be converted to ‘Likes’ and displayed in the song page.
