It is by design, because of 0021880.

This is really annoying and personally I see this 20+ times a day requiring an extra step for just Rating a couple files in the Playing.

It shouldn't be shown when a user adjust Rating on a couple of selected files. It's fine if it's shown on Album Rating, although in that case the message isn't informative on what's happening (Rating in each file will be changed).

The original issue at 0021880 was related to the case of users rating an _album_. One way to fix this would be to only show the modal dialog for both:
- Rating an album with > 1 track
- (as before) when modifying the rating for > x tracks (I think x is 50 for all mass edits)

If this is technically problematic, an alternative approach could solve the original issue from 0021880 without triggering this problem:
- when the user rates 2-x tracks use a timed toast message: "Updating x files . . . . . . (10s) [OK] [Cancel]"
- when the user rates x+ tracks use the current modal implementation
x should be the same threshold as is used to normally trigger the current modal confirmation dialog.

However, the second approach requires a new string. So if the first approach can't be used, we'd have to defer the second approach to 2026, which may mean that we'd have to revert 0021880.
