yes, i am confused as well, according to this specific link:

http://mp3tag.de/en/help/main_tags.html#POPM

there are three POPM implementations.  i don't know what app the first
one is for?

however, unlike what you are saying, WMP and Media Monkey seem to do it
the same, (according to that link) except that only MM is mentioned
supporting the - sign for "half a star" (yet i think WMP also supports
half stars)

so, what uses the 0 to 255 or 0 to 100 method?

winamp btw seems to support 0/none to 5 but only in its ow DB. 
basically, i just ant winamp to support 0/none to 5 in the tag file as
well.

maybe nothing, i only mentioned itunes b/c if it does anything its
gonna need t be included.  i hate itunes nd never use it.  but i would
like winamp to set ALL possible "tag methods" for ratings with one
click.

thats cool, i just want to get the ability into winamp first, then once
its in let SC know a broad market consensus seems to be out there, (so
it can at east store the data in the SC DB.

perhaps winamp should support it as:

000
010
020
030
040
050
060
070
080
090
100

so half stars can be represented?
