Like I told you, if you don't know how to workaround on MC in what you desire, it is ok to ask for help. I can show an easy way to achieve your goal. Keep in mind, this is not an automatic process, but close to this one.
First of all go and do some new fields.

Hi there, and thanks for the reply! Thanks for the help!
As I said before I need a very, very simple step by step guide (or just a *video* would be great), that spells out what these terms being used are because assuming I know how to "do some new fields" is part of the problem. I don't even understand that part!
Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Manage Library Fields?
Then Add a new library field?
How to do this though?
And why isn't my image showing up? >:( Even figuring out this forum is frustrating! lol.
Here's a link to the image I wish to embed here, on this throwback forum, lol, from Internet 1.0, not intuitive at all, lol:
https://ibb.co/DKLCgxW
"Display"? "Display Plural"? Are these the fields that need to be created? Am I even on the right page?
I don't know what any of this s*** is. lol. Am I going to mess up my purchase and not be able to fix it?
In addition, the "Data" "fields" don't seem to be "alterable". Is this even a "field"? Is that the correct terminology?
I feel like I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into coding. "Learn to code" they said. It'll prevent your Death of Despair they said.
Here I am after all. After all. lol
So anyways! Where tf am I? Is that the right place to be?
Not sure how you got there? As I said in my 2nd post in this thread:

You can choose to use the RatingStars10() as a function
[me!]
How do I do this? I am looking at this thread:
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=98374.0
Is there a better thread I should be reading instead?
I found this one with search:
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Formatting_Functions
...but am too stupid and it doesn't make much sense to me (yet!). Which is sort of the issue.
I got to this JRiver pop-up ("Manage Library Fields"):
https://ibb.co/7gRzN5X
...and am lost (via thread) as to how to proceed to get 10 stars to appear as "Rating" in "My Preset".
[/quote by ol Rutabaga (me!)]
so...
Do I need to enter code (" [Rating+] ") when naming the field? ?
Guess I'll check back in a few days and ...we'll maybe get to the bottom of this thing ...in a month, lol. So silly.
A "how-to video" could solve the issue in minutes but...
I wish there was another option beside MC and that I could've saved my money and not purchased the latest but...whatever here I am. Here we all are. Make the best of it I guess. Thanks for your patience and help! Hopefully it'll work out in the end.

Didn't I just pay for JRiver MC?

When you pay for a car, does it include driving lessons?
Did you try clicking the Help menu? It takes you to the Wiki. That's the manual.

...but am too stupid and it doesn't make much sense to me (yet!). Which is sort of the issue. I could spend hours studying, taking time off from other things, buying a house, connecting ssd, hdd, working out, eating, lol, etc.... learning to code JRiver to do what I specifically want/need...but ...I would pay ....10? 20? dollars more if "Ten Star Rating field" was automatically included (at least as an option) in future versions. :-) Said this years ago...on an account I can no longer even remember the name of...and I guess it wasn't popular enough to gain traction? You'd think it'd be a bigger thing but seems like Matt and JRiver are more interested in MC as a TV thing or the other views besides "library", I have no idea. Not my software. Not my ship to steer.
Anyways...if it's not too difficult I can dedicate about an hour...maybe two... to this side project today.
