I looked through the thread on that process and sadly i'm still a bit
lost. Do I need to make a custom tag and map the trackstat info to that
tag or will the trackstat playlist plugin actually write ratings to the
files itself?
I haven't done this myself, so it's probably

thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I'm not happy with the options

i think my best option right now is to try to write the trackstat info

quite a wealth of musical statistical info.

You can try to shutdown LMS and remove the section for the plugins you
don't want in the plugin-data.yaml file in the LMS cache directory.
Remove the whole indented section after the Database Query line and not
just one line.
You can also try to manually edit the

It could be CPU related.
Sounds like the NAS might be too slow if Squeezebox Server Statistics
doesn't show up.
HM, the ReadyNAS Ultra is not the slowest

Is your library large ? A lot of songs ?
Well, I guess it's not small, but far from what I've other people
mention in this forum. I'm at 5000 tracks, with about 700 flacs, the

The ReadyNAS Ultra 2, which I run LMS on, usually has 1GB Ram but I
upgraded it to 2GB. But perhaps that is still not enough?

There are two solutions. If you are doing this once and is moving all
the files, solution 2 is probably easiest. Solution 1 will be a bit of
work but it will be worth it in the long run if you move around files
once in a while.
Solution 1:
1. Tag your files with Musicbrainz
Hi Erland
Those votes in the opposite direction sound wise and I do see the
problem. I do think an external app to do this would be useful to a
lot of people though.
I do my backup to a dir outside slim so that should be ok then, thanks
for clarifying.

Is it not possible to save the rating to, say, an ID3 tag, or an APE

I'm sure this has been considered but I think iTunes saves it as a
tag...why not Trackstat? This way it follows the music wherever it
goes.

Ahma Trackstat2IDTag convertera nice idea. Isn't that
possible, Erland?
By the way, thank you for your response yesterday. I'm trying to tag my
files first by using Musicbrainz, but it's a really annoying procedure.
Although more than 90% of my songs have been ripped from the original

It would be possible to write the ratings to the music files, for
ratings there already is a standard ID3 tag called POPM available. But
since TrackStat also stores play counts and last played time it would
probably make sense to store it in a custom tag.

So if I open up the xml backup file - I assume the C in this string:
file%3A%2F%2F%2FC2FMy%2520Music%2Flame
is the drive so I just do a global replace to my new drive letter so
C%3A% becomes F%3A%
Then as long as I maintain my same subdirectory
