Automatic album rating bug in new Apple Music app for Windows

I'm rebuilding my Windows 11 computer after a crash, so I decided to try the new Music app instead of iTunes. I found that the new app still has the bug where if you rate a song, often the whole album is given a rating. You can't ignore this, because songs are then automatically rated from the album rating. And even worse, the stars are not colored differently for auto- or manual ratings in the new app, so you can't easily tell what needs fixing. AND the VBS script that we used to be able to run doesn't work (unsurprising, but still...).

That's what I've done, but inevitably Apple is going to abandon support for iTunes in the not too distant future. I can't figure out how to live without the ability to rate songs on my mobile devices and sync that back to my library, or how to get that ability from the non-Apple ecosystem. Sigh.

BTW, thanks for the ClearAlbumAutoRating script, @turingtest2!
