Since the ratings are subjective anyway, and for these specific tracks I've obviously changed my mind, then for all intents and purposes the piece has also changed it's rated "quality". But as I was in this case referring to Pop music, then it's not unusual. Heck, I find club music even worse though - I swear the stuff practically only has a shelf life of 6 months! If I play some of my late '90s club music I seriously cringe in embarrassment and pain - and wonder what I was thinking
I don't like any of the auto-rating scripts, as many of my habits don't necessarily reflect my measure of a song... such as skipping (often do it when searching for a particular track or track section for editing), or length of time between playing (with 50k+ tracks I find I don't repeat very often - Many of my all time favourite tracks have only been played once or twice in a year).
Oh, and on the note of keeping other hands off the computer, it's often much easier to just live alone (don't even let them in the front door!)
