hello everyone, i am having a strange issue, which i hope i can describe it in a way which makes sense.
1) i have 2 MB portable installations in 2 different HD. i) HD1 has an 'old' MB version (3.0.5995) and ii) HD2 has a new MB version (3.5.8249 P). Both HDs have the same music files which I copied from HD1 to HD2.
2) some .m4a songs show their rating in the 'old' MB, but not in the 'new' one.
3) in Windows Explorer i cannot see the rating of these songs, either in HD1 or HD2
4) Tag&Rename also cannot see the rating either in HD1 or HD2
my first thought was that maybe i had forgotten to synchronize the tags in the 'old' MB before copying them across to the new HD, but i checked that now and that is not the issue.
any suggestion on what else i could check?
thanks in advance

can you send a link to one of the files?

here it is

it shows 5 stars in the 'old' MB

that file has a rating tag with value = 0
if the old MB showed 5, to me that says that the file has been updated or replaced outside of MB after it was first added

yes, what you say makes sense. The other possibility is that for some reasons MB version 3.0.5995 does not write the rating to the file. I tried again just now. I gave the song 3 stars, then Tools->Advanced>Synchronize Tags, but the song still shows no rating in both Windows Explorer and Tag&Rename
