Hi Hendrik,

I'm back to my epic library refresh project and I'm trying to navigate the library in beaTunes; play a song and skip through segments; apply a rating and/or love/dislike; and then move to the next song. I can use the keyboard shortcuts to navigate songs and segments, but the shortcuts for song edits (ie the rating and/or love/dislike) do not work.

Browsing the Edit menu > Rating, I see that the submenu items (ie the ratings) are deactivated.

Clicking on the song with the mouse (selecting) then enables the Edit tools, so I can apply rating, etc.

Is there a way of making the selection follow currently playing song?

Thanks and hope you're keeping well!
Rob

   Realised I can use unmodified down/up keys to navigate after the player moves to next/previous song.

   I've created some macros with BetterTouchTool to link the shortcuts and make the down/up follow the player. Sorted :)

   So you're all set?

   Yes, thanks! May submit some suggestions at some point though.
