afriend and erland, I just discovered the availability of Ratings Light v1.9.1. I uninstalled the previous version and installed this one. Fabulous! The backup works like a charm! And when scrolling to the end of the backup file I saw a "WARNING" that a track had been ignored and that I

erland, Thanks. Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure which file/track it was, although I could probably figure it out. But given that there's no urgency whatsoever, I going to do as you suggested and wait for a new plugin release that ignores tracks that no longer exist. Now back to the music

afriend, Thanks for your quick response. It's probably something I've fouled up, so if you don't see an immediate solution don't worry about it. As long as I can rate tracks and produce playlists based on those ratings (which I am able to do) I'm AOK. So, I restarted LMS and ran a manual

Fixed the settings URL. :-) There was a problem with 1.8.3. Seems that for some reason the sha1 digest of the package delivered by github was not correct. Please wait until 1.8.4 shows up on the LMS plugins page and give that a try. Installing 1.8.4 from github works for me.
