MMW doesn't update the RATING in mp3 file

[RVA]

MMW doesn't update the RATING tag in MP3 file when I assign some number of "stars" if this tag doesn't exist in the file. For example, I have a basic MP3 file with only couple of tags - ARTIST, ALBUM, TITLE. I assign some rating in MMW, the timestamp of the file changes, but I don't see any rating-related tag changes in mp3 file (using mp3tag program as a tag viewer). If there is a POPM tag in the file initialy though, it's updated correctly

I suggest you capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and send the log to support: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=69 (they may like the original MP3 as well).

[RVA]

I have attached the log file for the latest debug version. I change the rating for ""Bloomfield - 11 - Saint Peter.mp3 file" but see no difference after changing the rating, there is no new tag that would hold the rating value.

Well actually when I look at the content of the mp3 file by a hex editor, I do see POPM field and the value which is changing as I set different ratings, but neither mp3tag or Tag&Rename programs don't pick up the value of the POPM tag or the existance of the POPM tag itself. What did you guys do to the POPM tag in MMW so it's not visible to other tag-editing programs?

Using the latest build and same problem. Did you find any solution to it yet?

Well actually when I look at the content of the mp3 file by a hex editor, I do see POPM field and the value which is changing as I set different ratings, but neither mp3tag or Tag&Rename programs don't pick up the value of the POPM tag or the existance of the POPM tag itself. What did you guys do to the POPM tag in MMW so it's not visible to other tag-editing programs?

It's visible for me in mp3tag. Maybe you could provide a screenshot of what you're looking at or a sample file with the problem.
