I've managed to do a complete export of stats from trackstat into iTunes, so 
step 1 is complete.

I also used your suggested tool for updating iTunes music library - worked 
well, thanks.

So, I've been looking into passing updates into iTunes, and I think I've 
discounted the possibility of using iTunesUpdate plugin.  I run SlimServer as a 
windows service, and it can't talk to iTunes :-(  Also, the machine is used 
with multiple accounts, so like you say I will probably run into problems there 
too.

So, I may try to to set up TrackStat to write updates to the .txt file, and 
have a periodic job that sends these updates into iTunes.

I do still rate music from iTunes.  Generally, I try to sync unrated/unplayed 
songs to my iPod, and rate the music there.  Another smart playlist keeps 
high-rated songs on the iPod.  So I would like to sync iTunes ratings back to 
SlimServer too.  I think this will generally be okay, as I will only be rating 
previously unrated tracks, and if I have rated these in SlimServer, I'd 
probably have selected the same rating anyway.  Unrated songs in iTunes will 
not affect rated songs in SlimServer, I gather?
