Hello,

How do I go about importing all the song ratings that I have done in JRiver MC 10 to be imported into iTunes.  Steve had mentioned some time back that iTunes should see the ratings natively, but I don't see that in my situation.  

I just purchased a iMac and I want to start using iTunes more in the Mac.

Thanks,
G

Gundan,

iTunes does not write or read the rating tag from the file. MC does. This is why you can't see the ratings from MC in iTunes.

Is there anyway I can get iTunes to read MC10 ratings?

It's highly doubtful.  If I recall correctly, MC actually stores the rating in a custom comment field, so there is really no way for an external program to make sense of it.

I could be wrong.  

Since this is really an iTunes support question, you may be better served by asking this on an iTunes forum.    (What's that popular site?  iPodLounge???  Something like that... do a google search.)

Funny, I was just about to ask the same question.  I just got a PowerBook and I am going to miss Media Center.  

Anybody know how to import the ratings???

Make a playlist for each groupe of songs (ie all 4 stars, all 5 stars, all 2 stars etc) and open the playlist in iTunes. Now all you need to do is to rate them in iTunes.

Genius.  Pure genius.

Which brings up another question ...

How do you remove those custom fields that MC created ?

I mean remove the custom tags from the media file.

[pank2002]

It's not much space it occupies. Personally I wouldn't care to much. You can probably delete them either in MC actionwindw -->Tag info or in a program like Godfather. You could also simply convert ID3v2 to v1 and delete v2 (I think godfather can do this... Mc might also.) All custom stuff is stored in v2.

Dumb question: why would you wanna go to iTunes? IMO it's piece of crap and it use all my system resources.

No it doesn't take up much space. Just that i wanted to remove certain fields from media that i give to others.

I'm aware that blanking tags out in the action window removes the data, was just curious whether it removed the tag as well. or is it left there with no data.

He said he wants to use iTunes for his Mac.

Yes it does remove the tag if you have 'Update tags when file info changes' selected.
