Changing the script to write tags is trivial, however, it's pointless for me to post this version until OP has confirmed he can actually run it (for which he will have to install python and one python module).

Re: [slim] Ratings to files
Hi, since he already had that csv - the main question is: Is that a onetime task only or a aldayrunner? A onetime solution (minimal) should look like: Export 10 playlists each for a rating. Import that playlist with eg, mp3tag and mark all tracks and add a tag (popm whatever) with 1 or similar rating. Repeat these steps for all playlists. A alltime runner should also check is the rating already in the tag if not change / add that rating to the file. I would prefer a simple cmd for that - the python demo from Roland (IMHO) only make sense if the Filenames/paths are UTF-8 like > x:\Røyksopp\The Girl and The Robot\Røyksopp - The Girl and The Robot - > 01 - The Girl and The Robot (Album Version).mp3 Changing strings like that is a mess with vbs/cmd/powershell and a fun with python. If "thats" not needed - python is too complex for a "excel is a database" user.

imo, the main challenge still will be how to import the ratings (d) -
good luck finding a player capable of that (LMS+TrackStat can (using
XML), but I've yet to see anything similar anywhere else)
For file tags, a python script probably would be the simplest solution.
If you want to try this, start by installing python and understanding
how to install python modules (needed for the tagging bits later on)
Here's a test script which exports ratings for mp3s directly from the
LMS database as a csv file (adjust the paths in lines 4 and 5)
Note is also checks if the files can be accessed, which isn't required
now, but will be as soon as tags are written.
Code:
import sqlite3, os, sys
from urllib.parse import urlparse,urlunparse,unquote
outfile="/tmp/lms-ratings.csv"
sconn = sqlite3.connect( "persist.db")
scursor = sconn.cursor()
with open( outfile, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as fp:
scursor.execute("SELECT url, rating FROM track_statistics WHERE rating
NOT NULL AND UPPER(url) LIKE '%.MP3' ORDER BY url")
for row in scursor:
fpath = unquote( urlparse( row[0]).path)
if not os.path.exists( fpath):
print("ERROR: file [{}] not found".format( fpath))
fp.write('"{}",{}\n'.format( fpath, row[1]))

Support of them is spotty and inconsistent across players (which tag to use (e.g. not all use POPM (which is for MP3 only, FLAC uses a different one)), and even if they agree on the tag, the semantics of the tags are not standardized (e.g. POPM has a range of 1-255, so it is up to the player to map ranges to "stars" etc. LMS uses 0-100, so 0-20=* etc.)) The first thing to do would be therefore to check how the target player handles this (if it supports it at all - most don't) Robbyell wrote: > > I created the Excel version so that if LMS broke I still had my ratings, > even if I can't get them into a music player. > Bronx wrote: > > So do I - I fear the loss of my ratings due to the fact that trackstat > is not maintained anymore, at least it seems so!

Re: [slim] Ratings to files
Hmmm - no I'm not as IT literate as that! My OS is Windows, and I just about follow your suggestion, but not enough to risk trying it;) Thanks anyway - were it simple enough, someone could make a few quid writing a bit of software to pull ratings from one player to another, ideally via the file (I understand there's s POPM field/tag within ID3v2 which a few players understand). I created the Excel version so that if LMS broke I still had my ratings, even if I can't get them into a music player. Welcome other suggestions!

Re: [slim] Ratings to files
Hi, looks like a pretty simple job, but it isnt simple. eg Excel isnt a database (that statement alone tells me about your IT Knowledge) Since LMS never ever touches /changes tags only reads them - there is IMHO no way to do that with a plugin. cause that would break the "never change tags with lms behavior" you need: - A commandline tagger for your files and os. excel runs on osx and windows - not native on linux. you os is??? - A prefered tag to use (there are some to use) - a csv file with your ratings nd your filepath/names - some script that changes the tags for each filename with the ratings - that script must check "if exist file then" cause some special chars in the lms db are not the real one -> " " is called %20 and so on - some debugging you see its not that simple as it looks on the first place but its not impossible.
