Question

How many ratings do you need for each level? To get up to the next one and how high does it go?

Answer 1

Following are the number of ratings required to achieve each rating level:

Rating Master: more than 10,000 total ratings
Addict: 5,000-10,000 total ratings
Fanatic: 1,000-5,000 total ratings
Trendsetter: 500-1,000 total ratings
Enthusiast: 250-500 total ratings
Listener: 100-250 total ratings
Newbie: less than 100 total ratings

Note that you don't actually get anything for being at the different levels. It's just a recognition of the number of ratings you have created for your station.

And a word of caution: it's much more important to have quality ratings (those that accurately reflect how you want your station to sound) than to have a high number of ratings that are not so well thought out. Many people (myslef included) have fallen into the trap of trying to reach the next ratings level by entering a bunch of ratings willy nilly. Trust me, your station will suffer: you won't have the balance or song selection you would prefer.
