If you install Custom Scan and use the RatingTag scaning module, I think you will be able to transfer Windows Media Player ratings to TrackStat if you have configured Windows Media Player to write rating information to the files. However, there is no easy way to transfer the ratings from TrackStat to Windows Media Player. I don't know how realplayer stores it ratings. Export/Import of ratings in both directions currently only exists through Custom Scan for MusicIP, iTunes and Amarok media players.

Musicbrainz doesn't handle ratings, it just write a unique identifier to each track which makes it possible for TrackStat to know that the track is the same even if you have renamed or moved a specific music file.

When the restore is finished it will write a message to the SqueezeCenter log file (accessible through SqueezeCenter Settings/Logging in the web interface).

You will have to enter the full name of the file you like to restore. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48413 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
