Doug, do you know this post?  
[Bewertung WinAmp in rating wmp](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/11654/4)

Put this Formatstring into the **Value** edit field of a column definition dialog, _leave the **Field** edit field empty_ ...

**$repeat('\*',$if($eql($regexp(%POPULARIMETER%,'^rating@winamp\.com\|(\d{3})\|.+$','$1'),255),5,$if($eql($regexp(%POPULARIMETER%,'^rating@winamp\.com\|(\d{3})\|.+$','$1'),196),4,$if($eql($regexp(%POPULARIMETER%,'^rating@winamp\.com\|(\d{3})\|.+$','$1'),128),3,$if($eql($regexp(%POPULARIMETER%,'^rating@winamp\.com\|(\d{2})\|.+$','$1'),64),2,$if($eql($regexp(%POPULARIMETER%,'^rating@winamp\.com\|(\d{1})\|.+$','$1'),1),1,%RATING WMP%))))))**

... and you will get stars for numbers ...  
  
**1=\*  
64=\*\*  
128=\*\*\*  
196=\*\*\*\*  
255=\*\*\*\*\***
