update and some questions... writing ratings to tags is now done by winamp (mostly). you do have to edit an ini file to turn the [write to tag] option on, but its very simple. however, they seem to at this time only be writing to id3 type files.
in mp3tag, i created a column called "Ratings" and used %POPULARIMETER% as both the value and the field for the column, "numeric" was left unchecked, and "sort by" unfilled. winamps GUI does no stars to 5 stars. so a 4 star song reports this value in mp3tag: [email protected]|196|0 ...b/c it uses the 0-255 scale that windows/wmp supports, (as per the popm id3 spec). the email addy is meant to differentiate users (again, by spec), but i don't think two winamp users can at this time be told apart by winamp. its great to see agreement on rating id3 files between two major apps like winamp and WMP. unfortunately, winamp doesn't do flac/vorbis ratings in tags yet, meaning writing them. it might read them, i'm not sure. it does do like it always did, and allows you to rate the file in the winamp DB, but that info is easily lost. my question is, how do i create a column for ratings for FLACs and Vorbis? i assume my popularimeter column is not appropriate for them, correct? what data ranges would i expect to find in such a column? does m4a use flac type tags? -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec (parent's home) - sbs 7.5.2b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 43k+ mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59929 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
