When it comes to rating albums (or anything for that matter) do you prefer it to be out of say 5 stars or out of 5 stars but including half stars, out of ten or out of one hundred etc?
I've recently set up a music blog and I am currently rating out of 5 stars with half stars inclusive but I am thinking of changing it to out of 100. Just wondered what people's view on this was and what they'd prefer to see. _________________ No Nonsense Album Reviews at http://rhythmandviews.wordpress.com/
I prefer the "5 stars but including half stars" system just because the music related sites/magazines I respect the most use that system. I believe that a 100 star system it's really unnecesary. In my opinion the more accurate you want to be, the more mistakes you are going to make.
Just listening along here to the feedback, I think this site will probably revert to /5 (with 0.5 increments) in the not too distant future. I agree with the comments here and don't feel /100 is working that well - it's too precise for most people and from a usability point of view it's fiddly to use. GameSpot used to do user ratings out of 100, not sure if they still do.
Despite of the other's sayings, I still think that 100 points is the best measurement. Even though not everyone could give a valid rating with that system, but it still quite representative, as in IMDb's rating system _________________ Music is the harmony of life. Without it, life would be a tasteless thing.

I also think there should be a 5 star system with .5s being available. It makes the albums much easier to judge. Sometimes I have a hard time picking between a 90 or a 95.
