Hi! I need convert (via Actions) the data of field RATING into a character and write this into the field LABEL. I rating my music whit AIMP (my fav player) but I realize that AIMP write the field RATING from 0 to 5 but FB2K read that field different if is a MP3 file or a FLAC file (maybe other soft too). MP3: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 FLAC: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 So, how I do to an "Action" (or script) make this: FIELD RATING | FIELD LABEL 5 or 100.........................●●●●● 4 or 80.............................●●●● 3 or 60...............................●●● 2 or 40.................................●● 1 or 20...................................● I hope you understand my question, my English is very bad. Thanks in advance. ---

> [@DJ-AS](#): > > FIELD RATING | FIELD LABEL > 5 or 100.........................●●●●● > 4 or 80.............................●●●● > 3 or 60...............................●●● > 2 or 40.................................●● > 1 or 20...................................● Create an action of the type "Format value" for LABEL (as this is a user-defined field, you probably have to type it in) for the values 1 to 5 use format string: $repeat(●,%rating%) For the values 20 to 100 use Format string: $replace(%rating%,20,●,40,●●,60,●●●,80,●●●●,100,●●●●●) As you need 2 of these, I would take care first to get unified values in RATING. Also, I wonder if RATING is the correct name or whether this should not be POPULARIMETER. As that field has a specified format, It would be interesting to see the real values. ---
