Advice on Embedding Ratings into Tags

[schliden]

Hi,

My music collection has been managed with iTunes for many years.

iTunes does not store ratings in the music file tags but in its own database.

I would like to embed the iTunes rating information into the music files (predominantly mp3) so that it can be indexed by minimserver.

I understand that there are a number of different tags that can hold rating information. Can anyone suggest which is the best to use:

• Rating
• Rating MM
• Rating Winamp
• Rating WMP
• POPULARIMETER
  

Additionally, I have an iTunes script from (Doug's Scripts) that will "Copy Rating Stars to Other Tag"s but that only supports copying to Composer, Grouping or Comments.

I tried a test on a few selected files, copying the iTunes rating to the Grouping tag, and then adding "Grouping" to my indexTags but grouping does not appear after a rescan ?

Any advice greatly appreciated.
