iTunes
Synchronise Ratings Script
I created a Windows JScript script to make a backup of the 'Ratings' I entered in iTunes. The script stores a backup of my ratings into the comment field of the mp3 file. This script enables me to put music on my mass storage device capable mp3-player (a Rio Carbon) and rate the songs during my work and when I get home I can import the ratings with the same script into my home iTunes library. I will also have a backup of the rating inside each mp3 file.
The script I created can be found here.
- the information is written as 'simple' xml into the comment field, it could be expanded to do playcount as well e.g.
- the original comment is stored
- if iTunes has another rating than found in the comment field you will be asked which one you want to save
