yes, and also the same system that windowsOS itself uses, as in windows
explorer browsing, etc.

i believe both use POPM, but i bet WMP uses a different email addy, or
something to preface the values.

i also don't know what the second # value is for.  its always 0 on my
tracks (so far, still very new to this).

ugh, and i see nothing about ratings in that link!  :(

how do you do it?  is there a de facto standard in the FLAC community?

i think i need two ratings columns, one for id3, one for flac/vorbis. 
but i have no idea how to do it.  i want to rate my flacs and m4a files
on a no to 5 stars scale.  i realize winamp most likely will not even
read the data, but at least i can get it entered in with mp3tag, and
hopefully do whatever translation is later needed if/when winamp ever
supports ratings in flacs/vorbis.
