I received some complaints that the current ratings were too harsh. When I checked the music page I noticed that on 2500+ tracks there were indeed only a handful of 5 star tracks. Clearly the ratings were not very fair.
After tweaking the ratings a bit the 70 best rated tracks now have 5 stars. Going along with this there are now also more tracks with only 1 star, but it's a knife that cuts both ways.
Congratulations to everyone whose tracks have gained half a star, you fully deserve it!!

u just made my day Chron!
(so is it back where it originally was? as i remember you making ratings harsher a few months back as there were too many tunes gettig 5 stars back then! lol)
Possibly, I don't know what it originally was lol
It's just a very slight change of the formula, just enough to tip the scale
I also found and fixed a bug that caused the star ratings in the side boxes (best tracks of this month etc) to be different from the ones in the music page. Everything should be consistent throughout the entire site now.
