COMMENT-tag (Energy-rating to POPULARIMETER-tag (Star-rating) - How (Part2) ?

As you can see here, [COMMENT-tag (Energy-rating) to POPULARIMETER-tag (Star-rating) - How?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/comment-tag-energy-rating-to-popularimeter-tag-star-rating-how/18412)  
Due alot of help from you guys, I was able to get the Star-rating filled in just the way I wanted.

Since I noticed the Energy algorithm of Mixed In Key is so-so, (and what about Genres nowadays...)  
I began to incorporate my Mood, Energy & Genre tags manually.  
This can be a tedious job, so I finally found a straight-forward solution using foobar2000 with a tagger component & mp3tag.  
Tagging genre, mood & energy in 25 seconds per track!

Check out demo here:  
[https://youtu.be/e64nKI7p9\_Y](https://youtu.be/e64nKI7p9_Y)

So output is now like this in the comment field:  
 ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7c35bcc3cbb8b2c480a2921f2d71bc877026e788.png)

...where [EN] stands for Energy & [MO] for Mood.

How do I get POPULARIMETER(Star-rating) filled in 1 star, when COMMENT field contains [EN]Low ?  
How do I get POPULARIMETER(Star-rating) filled in 3 stars, when COMMENT field contains [EN]Mid ?  
How do I get POPULARIMETER(Star-rating) filled in 5 stars, when COMMENT field contains [EN]High ?

So end result would be like this:

You could create an action of the type "Format value" for POPULARIMETER  
Format string: `$replace(%comment%,[EN]High,*****,[EN]Mid,***,[EN]Low,*)`  
and then an action to cut away the [MO... part:  
Action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: %popularimeter%  
Target: %popularimeter% [%dummy%

Works!  
I replaced your \*\*\*'s (and POPM replaced witn RATING WMP for FLAC) with the value needed for Traktor to show and voila:

Woah - hold on there? I thought TRAKTOR4 was not viewable in MP3Tag?

I notice that you are using FLAC files. Is it the case that MP3Tag can only read TRAKTOR4 tag if it is attached to a FLAC file? Because I've tried with .mp3's and cannot see TRAKTOR4...

> So there's a custom tag (cleverly named Traktor4) that holds the BPM, Cue, Loop and beatgrid information in the .mp3 file when the file has been anaylsed in Traktor.. How do I view this tag in MP3Tag? I'd like to be able to show it in the main window, just so that I can see which of my .mp3 files have been through Traktor... I'd eventually like to be able to do searches like "HAS Traktor4", or "HAS NOT Traktor4", and even set up actions to add a "Y" or "N" character to the Comments tag when a…
