Surely saving the Rating to the file itself would accomplish this.

hi
i have for example 3 version of the dark side of the moon , first release, second and remaster
seeing they have the same songs, I would like to know if i have rated "time" with 5 stars
if there is a way to let synch all the songs of pink "time" with 5 stars
i have just maded an example
think about many bands and albums with reiusses ,remaster and so on
thanks

There would be no way to accomplish this within MusicBee then.
You could possibly do it by syncing your ratings to Navidrome and then back, but this would likely involve a lot of testing and troubleshooting.

It is not clear to me if you are talking about getting the same songs in your MusicBee library synced with identical ratings, or if you are talking about something that involves Android syncing.
If it is the first, you could achieve something like this:



It then shouldn't be too much work to align the ratings for these tracks.

howto
  • Tools > Manage Duplicates...
  • duplicates handling: save to playlist > Proceed > Save
  • open that playlist, set Rating as a column
  • sort by Title
Then (optional) group by Title
But, since Title is not available for grouping by default, you will need to create a virtual tag for that.
(it would simply be: <Title>)

Since I saw some use for this myself, I created an improved method to achieve this.
It doesn't require to run the 'manage duplicates' steps again after you have edited some ratings and want to refresh the outcome, and it will also filter out duplicate groups that have no ratings.

You can find it in thisTips and Tricks topic.
