More on what tags are written by MM: http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/WebHelp:About_Track_Properties/4.0

[b]And I am back :)

[color=#FF0000][b]I found out what MediaMonkey does.[/b][/color]

Along with [url=http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html]MP3TAG[/url] I always check and update my Tags [size=85][color=#FF0000](still a noob at scripts will leave MP3TAG soon as I master MM scripts)[/color][/size]

But here's what happens:

With MP3 files MM writes to the " [b]RATING MM[/b] " tag when I rate songs by clicking on the 5 stars within MediaMonkey
and for FLAC files... It writes to the " [b]RATING [/b]" tag of the FLAC file

Downside for me.. the [color=#ff0040]RATING MM[/color] field ranges from 0 to 5 with increments of 0.5 (half a star), and the [color=#ff0040]RATING[/color] field ranges from 0 to 100 with increments of 10 (with 10 being half a star rating)

[quote="anonymust"]Here's one FLAC file I been working with

[DropBox Upload Link | http://db.tt/LR55TSXG ]

In my library it is rated 5 stars... but when I look at its properties in MP3TAG nothing is there... Rating only saved to the database and not the file

P.s. Downloaded MediaMonkey 3.2.5 will install when I return home from work.[/quote]
I've just downloaded and rated your file in MediaMonkey. Checking the tags with mp3tag shows the rating. Seems to be working fine.

keep in mind vorbistag 'rating' doesnt contain . or , and using values from -1 till 100 , 'rating mm' multiplied by 20. so rating 4 in mm means rating 80 in vorbistag.
and using mp3tag > if u remapped tagfields, the original fields aint shown in extended tag view (the mapped ones r shown)

Go to the Library > Files to Edit > Unsynchronized Tags node, select all files and use Tools > Advanced Tag Management > Synchronize Tags.

You might also want to upgrade to MediaMonkey 3.2.5.

Maybe it is something specific to the files, could you upload a sample? It is working fine for me.

[quote="nohitter151"]It works fine for me. You say the rating doesn't show in mp3tag? Did you right click > extended tags? I've just tried rating a FLAC file and it shows also in mp3tag.[/quote]

[color=#BF0000]Nope, it doesnt alter or change the FLAC files.[/color]


I just tried it again.... on a FLAC song with [u]no rating[/u]... and I gave it 4 stars stars...
Then I tried it on a FLAC song that I manually rate on MP3TAG (gave it 5 starts in mp3tag) and in Media Monkey it saw the FLAC song as 5 star... but in MediaMonkey i changed the rating to 4.5 stars..

The 4.5 [b]was not written [/b]to the FLAC file, it remained a 5 star.

After I gave those two tracks a rating, I then decided to "save then" (Select them and the ctrl+s) .. did that and check the tracks again with MP3Tag and [i][b]still not written[/b][/i] to the FLAC files :(

[b][color=#008000]I think it is only saving to the database, because when I exit Media Monkey and restart it, the files have the ratings i gave them, but it isn't written to the FLAC file itself.[/color]

[size=150]P.s. [i]nohitter151 [/i]yes i did right click extended tags in Mp3Tag , i have that field visible "RATING MM" or %RATING MM% in this case.[/size]

[u][b][size=150]Bellow is a screen shot of my settings[/size][/b][/u]

It works fine for me. You say the rating doesn't show in mp3tag? Did you right click > extended tags? I've just tried rating a FLAC file and it shows also in mp3tag.

For some reason when I rate my FLAC audio files in Media Monkey (version 3.2.2.1300), it doesn't write the rating to the FLAC file its self.....
But if I rate an MP3 file, it writes this rating to the MP3 file..

Why is this?

At times I have to manually edit the rating of the file with [url=http://www.mp3tag.de]MP3Tag[/url], and write its rating myself.


I have the "write to tag" options checked in:

Menu: Tools > Options... > Library > Tags & Playlists

I have both boxes checked for :
[list][*]Update tags when editing properties
[*]Modify timestamp when updating tags[/list]

Please help me out! Most of my new audio files are now FLAC, and I wont be going back!
