once, but if i like it, ill listen to it quite a few times before doing track ratings, & then the overall score might change

2 or 3. if i enjoy it enough i'll stick with it for a while, but it never really changes beyond half a star

At least three times.

Only once but each time I relisten the rating might change

once is usually enough for me to know

2-4 times typically, but sometimes only once if I’m able to engross myself in it enough

once

Minimum 2*. Might pick up on parts that are easy to miss on the first listen through, sometimes the mood you're in can dull/heighten the impact of the music, and some people might compare how it sounds active vs. passive listening.

*Genres like drone or >2 hr long albums sometimes don't need 2.

Three

It varies. Some I can rate after one listen, usually from artists I'm already into. Others can take a few listens, maybe 2-5 or so.

Normally 10 times

90% of the time, 2-3. There are some albums I can get a rating formulated in 1 sitting, but that’s only for genres I’m super familiar and comfortable with (90s hip hop and metal).
