for the time being, I can live with that, probably should open a bug report for 
Gorm then, to get it fixed ;)

The problem I have with that is, that I don't know how to address the text. In 
Gorm its just an
NSTextField, but I don't know how to give it a name, and how to address it in 
the code.

I also use the same stars in the Playlist. The stars, and the rating, is 
shamelessly stolen from Grr.

To make them not editable, I tried that:
          [minRatingCell setEditable: NO];
          [maxRatingCell setEditable: NO];
          [minRatingCell setEnabled: NO];
          [maxRatingCell setEnabled: NO];

but I still can edit the cells, i.e. change the amount of stars when clicking 
on them.

The SongRatingCell is a subclass of NSCell:
@interface SongRatingCell : NSCell

Maybe I could use something better?

thanks,
Sebastian
