Hi Guys, I've an important question according the saving of the evaluation of a song: I want to format my Harddisk, but I want to save my iTunes evaluations (stars) that I've made. Is it possible with MP3Tag; or how can I save my evaluations in order to burn my tracks on a DVD, format my Harddisk and then put the tracks on my Harddisk again including my former evaluations??? Is it actually possible? I would highly appreciate every kind of hints and solutions... All the best, progressive acid 🙂 ---

If you know the name of the field where iTunes stores that information (you can find out by opening a track with Mp3tag and viewing all tag fields by using ALT+T or ![:mt_tag:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/e7edc735a96d8d241c37593e98667ab3dc20c6b6.png ":mt\_tag:")), you can create an export configuration that creates a plain-text file with one file per line. In order to import the rating back, use the [![:mt_tff:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/fb599927d56a3dea5261627b2c420f3f21fabb2d.png ":mt\_tff:") Text file - Tag Converter](https://docs.mp3tag.de/menus/convert). ---

Please read [/t/3803/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/3803/1) Only few threads below yours btw So the best thing is probably to use some js or vbs scripts for this because reimporting ratings in the database is only possible this way. Please use the linked thread if you have further questions. Closed. ---
