Thanks for the cs music tip, it makes rating easier than music. What i used to use since last week (that was when i upgraded to ios 18.* from 17.*) was a widget called "Music Rating Widget". That was the best way to rate songs, cause you didnt have to be in the app. For instance i was on the trendmill at the gym, watching insta stories. All I had to do was swipe down swipe left, or just left from a locked phone, and ther was the 5* rating, with nice big stars, and moreover there was the 0 option, wher you could remove the stars, something that was also helpful for me. Unfortunately i found that the widget was last updated in 2020 and can no more be found in app store. So it seems that it is gone forever. If somebody finds something similar, a widget, please let us Know.

I'm also using Music Rating Widget. The app itself still works, though the "legacy widget" is blocked by iOS 18. If you already have it, you can install it from your "Purchased" apps list in the App Store. It's not as good as the widget, but still better than the default Music app.
There's another app called "Music Rating" that doesn't have a widget but it still available.
