which on my system shows a sort of 'bullet hole thru glass' character for the rubbish I've shot down.I recently imported my lib from mediamonkey and i noticed that there are two different ratings categories when I try to rerate songs (using ReplayStatistics).

To make it easy to spot disliked tracks in other playlists such as Library Viewer Selection, I've defined the Playlist View pattern for 'Stars' column as. My 'All Music' autoplaylist is NOT (%stars% PRESENT AND %stars% EQUAL 0) - which is handy because if guests select music from that, I don't have to worry that they'll queue up stuff I don't want to hear. I've defined my 'Favourites' autoplaylist contents as %STARS% GREATER 0, and 'Unrated' as NOT %STARS% PRESENT. Since the STARS tag doesn't even exist in tracks that I haven't rated at all, I can usefully set it to 0 for tracks that I actually DISLIKE (I prefer to keep whole albums, so I don't actually delete these tracks). I store my ratings in STARS, partly because there isn't likely to be such a tag in any new music I acquire, and partly because it saves having to think about whether the more 'standard' RATING field is stored in foobar's database and/or the mp3 files themselves. Just do the above but add a RATING3, and when you get to 8 you leave RATING2 = 2 and use RATING3 = 1 and so on. I even did something further and made it so I can use 10 stars with 8/10, 9/10, and 10/10 getting 1, 2, or 3 stars and anything 7/10 only with dots. Then just do everything else the same, except for the scripts, also add for 1-5 a "set RATING2 = 0", and for 6-10 "set RATING1 = 5" and adjust the "set RATING2 = x" value.

For rate2 I took the code in the OP and changed rating to rating2. In case anyone else would care, I rigged mine to easily use an x/10 rating system. then realized I was using add instead of set. Sorry, realized I should just try #1 and that worked. How do I make the scripts OVERWRITE the rating field instead of adding on? This can be seen in the properties window. I found out this is because it tags it to the file in this instance as RATING = 3 5, if I do this a bunch it'll tag as 3 5 4 2 1 5 4 etc only showing the first value in the column. This works to tag once but if, for example, I hit to set rating to 3 and then to 5 it'll stay as 3.

I get how to make two columns but how do you make it so you can actually tag two separate rating fields? Would you make a column that checks Rating2 (example) and then make an extra set of scripts to set RATING2 to 1/2/3/4/5?Ģ. I don't get how to make two SEPARATE ratings fields. I've got it working seemingly well but I have 2 problems:ġ. So, sorry to arrive late to this discussion, but why not support the two standard tags? POPM and PCNT? ITSFv will apparently copy from itunes' internal database into these tags as well. Others at other player forums agree and are also concerned with compatibility between players. I don't understand why is necessary to do use private tag. There is also a play counter tag described right above. However, *if* foobar is going to write into the file, then I suggest that that standard tag POPM is used - see the standard at

It ignores the POPM Frame completely and stores the rating info in a TXXX Frame, that is ignored by Windows/WMP (and i guess Tag & Rename too).įor some people, writing into the mp3 file is worrying. "Very Good" for Rating = 4).įoobar2000 does not. It adds an additional COMM (Comment) Field with a text info (e.

Windows/WMP stores the rating info in a POPM (Popularimeter) Frame (besides the fact that on windows 7 all existing TXXX Frames gets messed up.). Quote from: tedgo on 07:59:52 Depends on where the rating info is stored in.
