I tried really hard to find a solution by myself, but after some hours I capitulated.
So far I know for sure:
--> WMP10 saves its rating to the "POPM"-field
--> the program id3-TagIT shows exactly how the WMP-ratings are saved to the "POPM"-field:
@JimH:
You said I should add this field (POPM) to MC's display or I should use the library-tools to move from one field to another.
I tried to follow your instructions but as you already know I failed to solve the problem on my own.
Could you please be more precise with your help? Thanks in advance!
And btw:
I don't know if the MC-programmers know, but many people buy Digital Audio Players (DAP's) these days and 50% are ipods and some 30-40% are DAP's that come with Microsoft's Playsforsure-Logo.
Most people are used to sync their DAP's with WMP10, which often is bundled with these DAP's. Also my Creative Zen Vision:M came with WMP10 and it syncs with WMP10 without any flaws (ratings too).
But since Zen Vision:M and many other Playsforsure-DAP's support "rating-on-the-go", someone will never be able to import these ratings once he had contact with WMP10.
Do you understand what I mean?
I think it's kind of logical that nearly everybody who's interested in Media Center (and considers to buy it) comes from another program he maybe used for years (like me and WMP10).
All what such people want is a seamless integration of simple features like ratings from their old media player without investing hours to get it work like they want it to.
I hope you can help me to solve this little problem, because it's really very essential for me - means as long Media Center isn't able to do everything I want it to, I'll not consider it. But believe me - I want it really bad because besides this major flaw it is a great program.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Martin
