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. erland;395155 Wrote: > I'm not sure what iTunes and other applications does. 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. erland;395155 Wrote: > Unless something has changed recently SqueezeCenter doesn't support the > POPM tag unless you install the Custom Scan plugin and use its "Rating > Tag" scanning module. 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. erland;395155 Wrote: > I don't think there is a standard, but the most frequent usage I've seen > on these forum is to simply have a RATING tag that contains a number > between 0-5 or between 0-100.
