Auto rate 5 stars loved song (Last.FM)

[quvu]

Hello,

I'd like to keep synchronized the "Loved" status from Last.FM (which is not a tag saved in the file) with the 5 stars rating.
Is there any way to automatically rate 5 stars any track which is marked as loved from MusicBee.

Thanks in advance

Actually, I would like to know how does the Last.FM love status works ? Anyone knows where does this tag is stored in MusicBee ?

It's stored in the database, and if you're scrobbling to last.fm it's stored there

Thank you for you reply, this is what I was thinking, this is not stored in a dedicated tag stored into the file itself.

My point is that I don't want 5 degrees to rate my songs, having a binary "loved or not" value is much more convenient for me.
Then I still want to keep a 5 stars rating for each "loved" track to keep a trace of this in the file and don't lose it in case I need to export some music.

I think this feature could be easily added to the included Last.FM plugin, I could try to do it by myself but I don't know if the sources are accessible somehere.

You should be able to set this up as an auto-applied ASR preset in the additional tagging tools plugin.
It would need to check "Love" has a value of "Y" and write "100" to Rating tag if it's true.
I'm not to good with regex (actually I'm woeful   ) but other users here should be able to work it out if you can't make it work yourself.

I'm with Bee-Liever here in that setting up an automatic rule with Advanced Search and Replace would likely be the way to go.  I don't believe that I'd enjoy having all of the different performances of the finale from Dvorak's 12th String Quartet to be automatically rated 5-stars (as brilliant all of them are) because I only include >=4-star rated tracks to my phone's microsd card.  Hey Bee-liever, why would one want to use regex in this case?

The Additional Tagging and Reporting Tools plugin uses regex to work with tags

Many thanks to both of you! This ASR tool does exactly what I was looking for.
And indeed I don't need any regex for this simple operation. Here is the preset :



It works like a charm

probably not the best way but this works
matches if "Loved" has any value (don't know how this will behave if bomb or banned is used)
and Rating only has to be '5' (not 100 as I previously posted)

glad you worked it out quvu
