Not being a very methodical person (and not expecting problems) I can't
give you a very explicit account.  Roughly:

1) I decided to re-rate a whole load of tracks, using mp3tag, setting
previous values of 70 to 60
2) Some of the tracks may have been on my 'now playing' list at the
time
3) I tried (using the Alpha custom scan) to re-rate them, but selecting
scan on the rating line seemed to do nothing, so I did a complete
rescan
4) Some tracks had been renumbered (mostly those which had only had any
rating tag at all set fairly recently), others had not
5) I had then a period of trying loads of things - somewhat randomly I
guess - at one point the Song Info still seemed wrong, but after several
attempts at scanning I got to the point where
6) The song info reported the correct numeric value (60) but the Rating
line near the top of the song info showed 4*, not 3*
7) I did a rescan overnight, shutdown (automatic) and restart - still
wrong
8) I took a copy of the persist.db and had a look - I couldn't figure
out what the 3 trackstat tables were meant to have in attribute rating,
and gave up, ditching the lot - sorry!
9) A rescan having cleared all trackstat gave the correct ratings.

I do have a copy of 'persist.db' as it was around step (8) and could try
to analyse it further if I knew what I was looking for.
