Thanks tore. I was more talking about songs that I had already rated (something like 5k songs), they're in the tags as %RATING MM% but I can't seem to get a column to display that particular tag. I'd really like to carry them over if possible from MediaMonkey.

Like so : $rgb(250,173,69)$if(%rating mm%,$repeat(★,%rating mm%),☆) edit : By the way, if you want to "rerate" your songs with the foo_playcount context menu, it should be easy to do by filtering only the files you wanna rate from your playlist view. What I mean is if you could make a filter query like : %rating mm% IS 3 .. Then you would get all songs with that rating. You could then easily mark them all and rate them with 3 stars from the context menu. Afterwards, adjust the filter to say "%rating mm% IS 4", then rerate them to 4 and so on until you've rated everything over again. Should be done in a few minutes. Just ask if you wanna do this but have some trouble making it happen.

Hmmm...for some reason foobar doesn't show the %rating mm% value as existing in the tags, even though Mp3tag tells me quite clearly they're there.

gotjuice, i remember having the same issue with media monkey ratings. i don't remember the technical reason foobar won't read it, but it has something to do with MM using non-standard tag structures.
so here's what you do. in MM, make a seperate playlist for each rating (1 star, 2 star, etc). import those playlists into foobar, select all, set the appropriate rating, all will be well tore - looking good! your issue with the filetype ratings is odd. look at the path in the script, especially the filetype. i remember converting the ICO files i sent you a link for into PNG files to use with my config. don't forget to make use of Replay Gain, it's a great tool to apply lossless normalization at either an album level or a track level. also there's a scrobbler plugin if you use last.fm at all, it works great. as you start to work on your playlist, let me know if you need any of my scripts welcome to the wonderful world of foobar!

Thanks noise, I'll try that tomorrow. One thing I'm not sure of, can foobar handle 0.5 star ratings or is there something special you need to do with the scripting?

Regarding the playlist, I'm somewhat at a loss at how to customize it further. Like how can I add a playing icon to the file currently playing or how can I add greyer background colour to every other track in the list just to visually separate them a bit? I mean something like this where background alternates between white and light blue : Quote:

gotjuice: foobar can handle half ratings - but like tore said, you have to come up with a way to show them using 'text'
Cadrian: try CD Art Display instead. absolutely no better tool for "now playing" gadgets. tore: no icon option for currently playing unless you change to a different playlist component called ELPlaylist, but then things get incredibly complicated because it's much harder to script. in my screenshots you can see i just use a little green triangle to point to the currently playing song. when i get home from work i can post the script for it. and yes you can do playlist stripes, i have a script for that too that i'll post in a few hours
