Hello there,
I read a lot in the forum, but until now i did not find an answer and I'm not familiar with scripting language.
I rated all my music with tractor, but also like to use other DJ-software, like mixxx.
No I recognized, that the rating of traktor is only shown in traktor.
Traktor writes a field called "POLULARITY" and uses a special code for the rating:
traktor@native-instruments.de|xxx|yyy
xxx is for the rating and yyy for a playcount.
The values of xxx are fixed to:
0 = no value
51 = 1 star
102= 2 stars
153= 3 stars
204= 4 stars
255= 5 stars
In order to use the ratings in both softwares, I would initially like to translate the Traktor rating into stars, that are shown in the comments field.
I would like an action like:
If POLARITY=traktor@native-instruments.de|51|_, than write "_" (one star) into the comments field.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I think the field is called POPULARIMETER.
You find a list of fields in the help: [https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping)
You can create an action of the type Format value for COMMENT
Format string: $replace(%popularimeter%,'traktor@native-instruments.de|51','\*')
and similar ones for the other values.
Check if the replay counter is really set.

Yes your were right! It's called POPULARIMETER and replay counter is always 0.
Therefore I tried the following, that worked perfectly:
$replace(%popularimeter%,'traktor@native-instruments.de|51|0','\*')
In order to edit all tags, I created an actiongroup with 5 single actions, each with type Format value for COMMENT, but the following format strings:
$replace(%popularimeter%,'traktor@native-instruments.de|51|0','_')
$replace(%popularimeter%,'traktor@native-instruments.de|102|0','**')
$replace(%popularimeter%,'traktor@native-instruments.de|153|0','**_')
$replace(%popularimeter%,'traktor@native-instruments.de|204|0','\*\*\*\*')
$replace(%popularimeter%,'traktor@native-instruments.de|255|0','\*\*\*\*\*')
But as result, I get the value traktor@native-instruments.de|102|0 in comments instead of \*\*.
Alternatively I tried to include popularity in the MP3tag-browser in order to sort the mp3s and oly make the single action with the corresponding mp3s. But in the browser there are only empty values :-(.
Any ideas, how i can correct the action group or alternatively get the values into the browser?

I set up wrong the field in the browser, now it worked as I suggested as a workaround. Thank you all!
