How do I import ratings from winamp?

Post by PugWrangler »

Setup ran ok, I picked the folders my music is in. It ran for while then asked me if I wanted to import information from itunes or windows media player. Winamp is not on the list.

I'd like to import my ratings and so on from winamp?

In my case MM locates WinAmp, but not iTunes. I have asked on the forum before, but noone seems to know exactly what MM does to locate other music programs on the computer....

Slightly off topic, but aren't ratings stored in ID tags? I remember media monkey scanning raw mp3s (without importing any settings from other players), and discovered that some had 5 star ratings.

MM does. iTunes does not, at least not in a format readable by MM. (And iTunes does not read the ratings from MM)

Hrm. It sounds like there isn't an accepted standard for storing and reading this. I can't see why else all the major players would interpret this differently. :-?

Can we import ratings from Winamp now, or still not ?
I mean for songs that are not already rated in MediaMonkey.
Because I have some songs that I rated on Winamp, but not on MediaMonkey.

Thanks.
