Happy to see some guesses and impressions so far!

You really need to reduce those increments. Surely you've rated enough music by now that you can more narrowly pinpoint how much you like music! ;)

I've actually considered that, but the reason I haven't is because I feel like then it almost feels like work, haha. My approach is basically look over the spreadsheet until I find songs I think I enjoy on roughly the same level (8, 7.5, 7, etc.), then scroll around until I find a few songs I like more, and a few songs I like less. Normally I can tell what number a song "feels like" as I'm listening to it, though sometimes the sheet convinces me otherwise, like if I think something is an 8 but I like a bunch of 7.5s more than it. It's definitely not an exact science, especially since opinions can change depending on my mood. Going into more precise increments would make it seem like more of a chore! At least I think it would - I've never tried it. (There are some borderline 9.5-10s that could basically be 9.75...)

I'll also say that below 7 is much more arbitrary, since I don't remember those songs nearly as much as the higher rated ones.

tag. i love rwlh music and i am excitied to see what it is now, Also how do you rank so many songs,

I don't even rank everything I listen to! I've been maintaining the spreadsheet since 2019 or thereabouts, whenever the last BOST was (the first song rated was Undertale - Undertale, at a 7.5), so that's probably why it seems like a big number.
