**Addendum, 13.03.2023, 16.30 Uhr:**

There is an additional way to apply the star rating using "[Custom list values](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/tag-panel/#editing-fields)" for the Field `POPULARIMETER` that let you choose your own unicode stars like ★ from a drop-down-box in the Tag Panel.

All you need is to add a new field to your Tag Panel like this (you can name it as you like, in this example it's called POPM):

This allows you to choose the stars for your selected tracks from the POPM drop down box in the Tag Panel:

If you prefer to enter the stars directly in the File List for every single track, you can also achieve that.  
You need to add a column with the Value and Field %POPULARIMETER%

In the File List you can enter the amount of stars directly, like \* for one star or \*\* for two stars.  
Please be aware that only the usual `*` (Hex 0x2a, Dec 42, as directly available on your keyboard) will be automatically translated into the according rating number.  
Other entered Unicode characters like ★ will not be automatically translated in Mp3tag!

Demo from File List \* input:
