It should be possible to put it in the context menu shown when you hit the Add/More button. It can currently only be done from the TrackStat web interface.

I'm not sure I like the idea of patching Logitech's now playing screen, it can definitely be done but I suspect it might change a bit between different releases making it hard to make a stable patch.

You can send me a sample file if you like me to check it. Generally speaking, the "Rating Tag" import module in Custom Scan will pick up any rating and you can configure the maximum rating value. As long as it has a linear scale it will be converted correctly into TrackStat ratings. The fact that mp3tag calls its tag "RATING MM" and "RATING WMP" worries me a bit because it might mean that it creates a POPM ID3 tag instead of a vorbis tag which is suitable to FLAC files. So I would test this on some test file to make sure I knew what it does before you start using it. Mnyb;540731 Wrote: > > will these be picked up without the use of Custom Scan ? > Yes, if you have the "Rating Tag" scanning module in Custom Scan activated. It can only pickup a single vorbis FLAC tag, so you have to decide which one to use and use the same rating scale in all files where it exists. Please note that "Rating Tag" will overwrite any ratings in TrackStat, so if you have changed a rating in SBS, you will need to somehow make sure it is written to the music files else it will be reset to the old value the next time you peform a scan. There is no plugin available for SBS as I'm aware of that writes rating tags to the music files, TrackStat and Custom Scan definitely doesn't do it.
