RL doesn't store your rating data. It tells LMS to store them in the LMS
persistent database. So RL is not really involved in this unless you
have a RL backup - which you say you don't.

Have you deleted your cache folder? That would have deleted the entire
LMS database. Or have you changed the location / file path of your music
folder? That would likely make the ratings disappear because LMS ties
them to the file url. And you don't have *any* other backup at all that
would include the LMS cache folder? Complete OS, user home folder...?

Without any backup at all, I don't see how you would be able to recover
your ratings - unless you have rating values stored in the files'
metadata (e.g. comment tag) or some playlists with all tracks rated 1
star, 2 stars etc.).

One last thing I can think of: sometimes LMS doesn't delete old entries
from the persistent database right away if the file url has changed.
Go to your LMS cache folder and open the current LMS persistent
database, a file called "persist.db", with a SQLite browser/app to see
if it contains rating values. If you don't know how to do that, send me
the "persist.db" file and I'll take a look.
