Questions / Convert library-based(?) ratings (from iTunes import) into file-based ratings
« on: May 29, 2022, 06:59:19 PM »
I recently imported my iTunes library to Musicbee (past iTunes/iSyncr/RocketPlayer user). Loving my MusicBee/PowerAmp experience thus far.
When I imported iTunes library, it appears to store ratings as part of the library, and not in the files themselves. Is there a batch process I can run that takes those ratings and puts them into the files themselves? I have the checkbox to store the ratings in the files (assuming for future tag saves), but I'm looking to see what I can do with existing library entries.
Bonus question -- it seems to have brought in iTunes "guessed/estimated" album rating into the MB library, which I don't want/need. Is there a way to remove those album ratings without impacting the files themselves (since album ratings are currently not saved into file)?
Thanks all! I hated that it took JRT Studio getting sold to make me move to MusicBee (I loved supporting them even while 'putting up' with iTunes). However, Musicbee has been a incredible experience with a great community and a great developer.
