No, sorry, I misspoke. MM recently changed the way it writes mp3 tags. Right now for 1 star it writes POPM = 1, and for 5 stars it writes POPM = 255.

In the past I think it used to write something like POPM = 3 and POPM = 253 or something like that. mp3tag probably expects these old values so doesn't display RATINGMM with the new values.

No, MediaMonkey did not change 1 star to Zero. It is still '1' and '5 star' is still '255'.

This is probably because MM changed 1 star and 5 star POPM values to 0 and 255 in a recent update. mp3tag probably still expects the old values. %RATING MM% is not a separate tag, it's just a way for mp3tag to show an easier-to-read rating from MM. (vs. popularimeter)

ok, thank you. Now I know how to see the tag info in Mp3Tag!

Here what's happening:

1) When rating a file with '1 star', the tag shows the field 'POPULARIMETER = no@email|1|0', and nothing is shown in Mp3tag field %Rating MM%
2) When rating a file with '5 stars', the tag shows the field 'POPULARIMETER = no@email|255|0', and nothing is shown in Mp3tag field %Rating MM%
3) When rating a file with ratings different from '1 star' or '5 star', the tag do not show the field POPULARIMETER. Instead, it shows the field 'Rating MM' with a number translating the stars tagged in MediaMonkey. Exactly the way it has to be, I think.

Somehow, Mp3Tag is not translating the infos 'no@email|1|0' and 'no@email|255|0' as it should.

Besides this problem, if I insert the rating info I want directly in Mp3tag, it opens the field 'Rating MM' in the tag, and insert the value there. So, the tag keep two fields ('Rating MM' and 'Popularimeter'). This is causing the rating alterations in Mp3tag cannot be seen in the MediaMonkey, cause the info are no longer the same.

So, how can Mp3Tag translate the infos 'no@email|1|0' and 'no@email|255|0' correctly as '1 star' and '5 stars'?

And, how can Mp3Tag modify the Popularimeter info directly by changing the 'Rating MM' field?

It looks fine for me using mp3tag version 2.59.

I load a 5 star rated mp3 file (by MediaMonkey) into mp3tag. Right click the file > Extended tags

Find "POPULARIMETER", see "no@email|255|0". The 255 = 5 star rating.

Maybe you are not checking the right tag.

Hi Guys, I'm new here so sorry if this question was already answered but I swear I search the whole forum and nothing seems like this.

I've started to rate my mp3 files in Mediamonkey cause it has a 10 grade scale and I need this. A 5 grade scale is just not suitable for me.

Rating the files directly in MediaMonkey and viewing them in Mp3Tag works almost fine, except that songs rated as '1 star' or '5 stars' in MediaMonkey simply doesn't shows any rating at all in Mp3Tag.

Beside this, I can insert the rating direcly in mp3tag so it show it up on MediaMonkey. I imagined that entering the rate direclty in the numeric field and saving the file, then updating the library in MediaMonkey should show the new rate on the MediaMonkey stars but nothing happens. If there was a rate before, it keeps. If there was no rate on the file, it keeps with no rate.

Anyone could help this newbie??
