thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I'm not happy with the options
currently in the cloud but it seems that google play is the best of the
bunch at the moment.
i think my best option right now is to try to write the trackstat info
into my files and then upload to google play.

My very personal opinion is that I wouldn't spend the time to upload my
own music to a service which don't even provide an API to
browse/search/play it except

I've been a huge fan of trackstat for a number of years and have amassed
quite a wealth of musical statistical info.
I'm preparing for the eventual demise of the squeezebox world by moving
my libary to the cloud through google play. I noticed that they too have
a five star rating system.

Thanks, Erland, for taking the time to write that post. I hope it will
also others with the same problem. For me, the only way to get LMS
running again was the option "Clean cache folder, including media
library database, artwork cache etc." in the frontend configuration
interface of the ReadNAS.

Hi Erland
Those votes in the opposite direction sound wise and I do see the
problem. I do think an external app to do this would be useful to a
lot of people though.
I do my backup to a dir outside slim so that should be ok then, thanks
for clarifying.

I use an awful lot of MP3 tagging utilities for avrious things and to be
honest I've never once worried about losing my collection (which, of
course, is backed up regularly).
If there's any opportunity to vote for this to convince you otherwise,
I vote 'yes'.
That said, I never really move my mu
It would be possible to write the ratings to the music files, for
ratings there already is a standard ID3 tag called POPM available. But
since TrackStat also stores play counts and last played time it would
probably make sense to store it in a custom tag.
The reason I haven't done this yet is tha
Ahma "Trackstat2IDTag" convertera nice idea. Isn't that
possible, Erland?
By the way, thank you for your response yesterday. I'm trying to tag my
files first by using Musicbrainz, but it's a really annoying procedure.
Although more than 90% of my songs have been ripped from the original

Is it not possible to save the rating to, say, an ID3 tag, or an APE
tag, as a custom field?
I'm sure this has been considered but I think iTunes saves it as a
tag...why not Trackstat? This way it follows the music wherever it
goes.

Erland, I unfortunately have organized my music in the root directory of
drive G:\
Now I want to move all folders to a subdirectory G:\Music. What is the

Thanks for the help - quick question:
So if I open up the xml backup file - I assume the C in this string:
file%3A%2F%2F%2FC2FMy%2520Music%2Flame
is the drive so I just do a global replace to my new drive letter so
C%3A% becomes F%3A%
Then as long as I maintain my same subdirectory structure,
