I prefer my ratings to be stored inside my files. My ratings also have 1-5 stars and I wrote them (several thousands) with the program JRiver Media Jukebox. I think the ratings are all stored inside the files.
I'm the only one who listen to them so this is the best option for me.
If there were a config option in Nightingale to set this behaviour I would use it.
Thank you very much for your answers!

There is no configuration option to select the rating tag used by Nightingale. If your existing tool (Jukebox) is able to write ratings to a custom tag, configure it to write ratings as decimal number into the NIGHTINGALE-RATING field. Nightingale should detect such tags on your next import.

Alternatively, you could convert your tags using command line tools, for example on Linux with mid3v2 installed you could try something along the lines of:

Code:

FILENAME="your-filename.mp3"
TAGRATING=$(mid3v2 -l "$FILENAME" | grep ^POPM= | head -n 1 | sed -e 's/^POPM=[^=]\+[^ ]\+ //g' -e 's/\/255$//g')
STARRATING=$(echo "1 + (($TAGRATING * 4) / 255)" | bc)
mid3v2 "--TXXX=NIGHTINGALE_RATING:$STARRATING" "$FILENAME"

I'm not familiar enough with Windows to provide a similar solution for the M$ platform.

I'm in the middle of the process to abandon the M$ world and going to GNU Linux Freedom world.
I'll try to use your code. Thanks a lot!
