Hello AF1,

Many thanks for the Ratings Light plug which after a few teething
problems as a new Daphile user allowed me to copy my iTunes ratings
across to a large cloned music library on the LMS. I did this via your
Playlist Export/Import method.

In iTunes, I like to keep persistent ratings stored in the audio files
in case of iTunes library calamity and I repurpose the Beats per Minute
(BPM) field for the rating (BPM = 10x iTunes Rating, e.g. 3.5 star =
35). Conveniently, it sits under the track rating in the Song Info
Dialog and its validated as integer (0..100). I periodically do BPM bulk
updates to align the iTunes rating and BPM value. I think you mentioned
elsewhere that you maintain LMS and iTunes libraries and transfer
ratings between them. This hack could be a substitute for the "Comments"
method you use if users are averse to modifying or appending the
comments field. Thanks again for an excellent plugin. I look forward to
experimenting with the Dynamic Playlists.
