Write ratings to tag

It would be nice if I can write ratings to tags, otherwise, the program is great!

What fields are you looking to set? Tauon already has partial implementation of writing FMPS_Rating (behind a setting) currently only for MP3 and FLAC, but it could be extended to more tag formats. It would be much preferred to only write one rating field to tags. If any standard is to be used, its preferred to be this one.

However not all players have adopted this standard, its currently only used by some Linux music players:

Players that do use FMPS Rating:

  • Amarok
  • Clementine
  • Cantata
  • Rhythmbox
  • Banshee

But many players also don't:

  • Foobar2000
  • MusicBee
  • Lollipop?
  • Deadbeef?

Sorry for the late response, FMPS_Rating is good. All of my current music files are MP3, I am just wondering if the ratings I set on Tauon Music Box could be written to the MP3 files themselves, so if I two machines and am syncing those music files in between, then I can see the ratings on both machines without having to sync the local database over on both Linux devices.

New here. Checking status of this issue. Can Tauon read and write FMPS_RATING tags to files?

GMusicBrowser uses FMPS_RATING too. Some implementation details are discussed here.
