Hi, great product.

Just wondering about ratings (stars out of 5)

WMP11 gives you the option of 'Maintain my star ratings as global ratings in files'. (File -\> Options, Library tab)

When I was looking for an ID3 tagger, I came across Tag&Rename, which showed found these ratings

Her's a screenshot of the two

Load a file and press ALT+T or ![:mt_tag:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/e7edc735a96d8d241c37593e98667ab3dc20c6b6.png ":mt\_tag:") to have all tag fields listed. Mp3tag does not display the rating with stars, though.

You can create a column like in my screenshot.  
You can find the full strings [here](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/2826/5).

Once you have this column, you can enter 1 to 5 \* chars to rate the song.  
But it might not really work with WMP since it has a little different scale and a different identifier.  
(An action could be used to make the rating WMP compatible afterwards.)
