FLAC ratings tags

Lets start discussion about tune rating implementation in various FLAC supporting software/hardware. Today is 19th AUG 2015. This is what I have discovered:



Native Instruments Traktor (v. 2.6.8.)

- Traktor has ratings of 0-5 stars. It seems to save these ratings in "rating wmp" field as following values. 1 star corresponds to 51, 2 stars corresponds to 102, 3 stars corresponds to 153, 4 stars correspond to 204 and 5 stars correspond to 255.

Mediamonkey

- Mediamonkey saves FLAC ratings in "rating" field as following values. 1 star correspond to 20, 2 stars correspond to 40, 3 stars correspond to 60, 4 stars correspond to 80 and 5 stars correspond to 100.

Foobar2000

- In Foobar2000 there is no native rating support you have to organize ratings manually. I was able to get "rating wmp" to work with Foobar2000, but I dont see stars but direct values.

Windows 10....?

- anybody knows how Win10 handles this?

Serato....?

- anybody know how Serato handles this?



Other ratings supporting FLAC players...?






Traktor saves MP3 ratings in "rating" field, so in Foobar2000 I have to have to rating columns ("rating" and "rating wmp"), and depending on the file type I have to update either one of them. There seems to be also a but in Traktor 2.6.8. If I update "rating" of MP3 in foobar to values 0,1,2,3,4,5, everything updates OK in traktor, but if I update ratings in Traktor, Foobar sees them as follows: 5 stars rating = 5, 4 stars rating = 4, 3 stars rating = 3, 2 stars rating = 3 !!!, 1 stars rating=2.
