Used to work great. No longer displays the rating in stars at the top nor lets you "Rate songs with a single click" on the current macOS. Support does not respond.

It's a pretty nice idea but, for me it uses up too much precious menu bar space.
You can rate songs, as they're playing, using keyboard shortcuts and do a whole lot more for free with the awesome app Quicksilver. I use it for almost everything from launching apps to moving files, searching my computer, etc.

Great little gem. This little great program makes Apple computing so much more fun.

I've tried ILS and indeed it does what is says. But no matter how much I would like to use start rating the thing that keeps me from it is the fact that (at least to my knowledge) there is no way to save and export the star ratings for your music library.
Of course this has nothing to do with I Love Stars but all with Apple, and I've given up hope that Apple will ever save the star ratings hard coded in at least AAC and Apple Lossless file formats (as tag information).

I Love Stars does just what it claims to do and very simply. It's perfect!
