What is 'audio station'? Is it a player, desktop software, a smart phone app? Are you sure it works with ratings?

I'm not 100% certain about this since I don't rate my music, but I seem to recall that ratings are stored in MB's database and not as a tag. If true, then the ratings wouldn't be transferred over. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi

Thanks for the response in answer to the first part it is both I am using the mobile app to play the music but checking the server based version to see if the ratings are appearing.

on the second part I have checked the files in explorer and the ratings have been written to the file I have also amended them on the file and they have transferred to music bee so that appears to work OK.

Thanks

I can only suggest trying a different Android player to see if that works, or if the issue is with audio station. I suggest the trial version of GoneMad or PowerAmp. Both work well with MB and also MB's Wifi Sync app for Android.

The capabilities of Synology’s Audio Station (aka ‘DS Audio’) is actually pretty limited.  As far as I can tell the only way you’re going to be able to use it to pick out the 4/5 star rated content, is by using MB to create an m3u playlist comprising these tracks and then to copy this file to the music folder on your NAS.  Good instructions on how to achieve this are given here:  https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/10607/Copying-your-iTunes-Playlists-to-a-Synology-NAS-box.html
