Ratings (and play counts) are native to LMS, so if that's all you need
(and file paths haven't changed), there's no need to import - the
existing persist.db contains these, and they are not overwritten by a
re-scan. TrackStat synchronizes it's own data with LMS' on startup. 
However, if file paths haven't changed, why do you have to import in the
first place? The TrackStat data in the database should be still valid.

I'd use sed for this type of search/replace. Since you seem to use
Windows, see 'here'
