I'm still using Star without any real problem, as long as I don't play around looking for links to the original developer I won't be reminded that no updates are available. But they're not necessary anyway.
Works with iTunes 9.

For fans of this program (or the similarly defunct "iTunesRating"), it looks like we finally have a candidate for a replacement! Try "I Love Stars" by Potion Factory:
Note: it requires at least Mac OS X 10.5.

But why is the link in the "About Star" window now taking me to a gawdawful parked domain called Improvpastence.com? Quite ugly, perhaps even evil.
Oh, and turn off the "Check For Updates" preference or you'll be prompted for downloads that never happen.
Not sure about the stability issue. I get some ugly crashes when running iTunes sometimes. But that could be iTunes, couldn't it.

It does what it says and it does it well.
A couple of changes would be great though. Firstly, being able to turn on and off the half star ratings. It makes the list almost too long. The other one is the ability to simply click the required star rating on the menu bar, instead of having to drop down a menu. Posibly another feature that could be turned on and off?

My site is currently down due to late payment to my host. This should be corrected in the next few days.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Seems to be broken/dead?

I know that the developer's site was accessible, as was the download, just a very few days ago.
Likely the developer will resurface soon.

Perhaps, since the star is 5-pointed, there might be a way to use a single star to reflect the rating - empty/outline (no rating), 2-4 points fill the star incrementally, then full for 5 stars? Each click on the star increases the fill/rating, cycling back to empty in case you change your mind. Just a thought.
Perhaps the 1/2 stars should be optional, that menu is pretty long.
