That would make sense, because i never use Connect to play songs on computer, i use Winamp. Shame, if that's the way auto ratings work, because the NW-A3000 player is the thing i'm listening my music with, not my computer. Btw. i connect my player to Connect player few times in a month, that's why i was wondering why starring rates newer change and it seems to me, that top 100 is based only to song play count. I have now used NW-A3000 for about 3 months, almost daily. These are naturally just small things, after Creative player i had i love my Walkman. Thanks to you all for replys!
