If you do a backup file in TrackStat you will get an xml file, but I
have no idea what formats Media Monkey supports. If it supports some
kind of text based format I'm guessing that it would be possible to
write some conversion script that converts this XML file to a format
usable by Media Monkey. The best solution would be if Media Monkey had
some external interface to write ratings, but last I checked this
wasn't the case.

If you like to write the ratings in SlimServer directly to the tags,
you will need to develop a new scanning module for Custom Scan that
does this. The "MusicIP Statistics Export" scanning module could
probably be used as a base and just change the HTTP call to MusicIP so
it instead writes to the POPM tag in the MP3 files.

I don't use Media Monkey myself, so this is not a functionality I will
provide, but the hooks in TrackStat and Custom Scan is there if someone
else likes to do it.

It should overwrite the ratings with the rating information in the
files.

Is this what you want ?

If this isn't what you want, do you know if Media Monkey changes the
modification time of the file itself when it changes the ratings ?
