Transfer iTunes' song ratings from Windows to Mac

I ran into a problem trying to transfer my iTunes library from Windows to Mac. Even though iTunes for Mac and and Windows were written by the same company, the programs are completely incompatible when it comes to rakings. But they speak the same language when it comes to playlists.

In order to save yourself the headache of re-ranking thousands of songs, all you need to do is create five playlists: one for 5 stars, one for 4 stars, etc. Once the playlist is transferred to Mac, simply select all songs in the 5 star playlist and hit command-I to rank all songs as 5 stars. Repeat until all of your stars are filled.

I saw this on c|net.com (but can no longer find the link to give proper credit).
