Maybe @Doug_Mackie (the [original autor of this code](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/column-script-to-show-popm-ratings-as-stars/11806/8)) can explain how you could achieve your alternate message.

At least for values in `%popularimeter%` every number greater then 196 will result in 5 stars. I don't see how you can get anything bigger then 5 stars with the above code.

Maybe the code has to be limited to 255 as max value with something like in this example:
