Hi !!! I use VirtualDj which stores ratings in "POPULARIMETER" tag field ("|255" stands for 5 stars, "|192" stands for 4 stars etc...). How can I format another field, (ex. "DISCNUMBER") such as : if %POPULARIMETER% is "|255", then format %DISCNUMBER% as "5" ?

You could use an action of the type "Format value" for DISCNUMBER  
Format string: `$replace(%popularimeter%,|255,5,|192,4)`
