    From my experience when I lost accuracy I lost a star.

    It can work both ways though - i've gained accuracy and lost stars and i've lost accuracy and gained stars.

    Hmm... Looks like they have made it harder for people to play the system purely to earn as much as they can and who are not interested in the music or the artists.

    Not strictly true, as they have made it more likely people will play the system to earn money.

    I have been wavering between two and three stars but I never hold onto the three stars for long. Every time my accuracy falls I lose a star. For example I had just given rating of 9 because I really liked the song and wanted it to do well. Bang I dropped 2.5% accuracy and lost a star :sad:

    My earnings so far is a little under £2.00 so it is not an easy way to make money. You need to put in some time and hard work because you will get a pop up telling you when you have written too few words, when you have used similar words from previous comments and when you have not used some key words that they would expect you to use. But it is an enjoyable way of passing some spare time.

    LOL, almost felt tempted to put a track down as a 10, and a 0 to see if i could get 5th star today as I was at 94.xx% didnt bother and still ended up at 87% not long after!

    i think if you rate a song a 0 or 10 when the average rating is about 5 or 6 then you'd still not get the star - you'd lose about 5-6% accuracy at least :)

    I know, but I could try to get my accuracy up to recover after that :)

    I'm otherwise at a loss for why I never get that elusive 5th star.

    Ah well, I enjoy being between 2 and 4 :) least I cant feel the disappointment of losing a 5th :)
