ok, here's a weird one: mp3tag will store ratings as 0-100 I believe (the raw data, translates to 5 stars) in m4a as a %rate% atom, which is what twonky and MM and winamp use and np so far. however windows explorer in win7 will allow you to rate a m4a as well! this rating is NOT in the %rate% a…

On the side note: could someone sell me on the idea of rating music that you are listening too? And with a 5 step scale? Genres / categories and BPM I get- but differentiating between great [*****] and awful [*]? What for?

Personally, I'm tagging videos not music. I tag videos as soon as possible to keep them identified and organized. I seldom use an individual video file by itself but pull clips from them to create a movie. I rate videos based on the likelihood that I can pull quality clips for creating movies later…

Can't change the extension. Too many apps rely on it. You can build any info you want into the root filename but that gets unwieldy fast. Windows Details is not going to change. Count on that. Microsoft tends to set standards not follow them. It uses the Windows Property System ( https://msdn.micros…

My workaround has been to just use compatible tags that work with Windows Details, like composer and director and producer, for which I personally have no need for their "true" purpose. So for example, I'll use producer to store a date/time to represent the Date Taken (because file timestamps are no…

I also store some needed information, like a date of a life performance, in a already existing fields completely not related to it And I had similar problem with M4A format: if I would write something like "1/4" in the DISCNUMBER, everything after the "/" wold get wiped out. And I could not use oth…

I'll take a stab at it. I have 85k files or so. I rate songs bc it can be helpful to find what I want to play, esp within given genre[s]. I have a background in radio so I settled on this: 1 star = crap, shit, I hate it. 2 stars = neutral, not worth playing. 3 stars = i kinda like it, want to …

Can we get back on topic now? We can further discuss ratings in general at the winamp forums. Mp3tag handles %rate% atoms afaict, but does not read or write whatever atom Windows wmp and explorer are using. Will mp3tag ever address this issue?

Has there been any attention paid to this issue at all? Seems like a straightforward thing to fix, no?
