Easily restore iTunes music ratings after library reinstall
Authored by: adamtwar on Jul 10, '06 06:02:15PM
I have just written a Python script that converts between track ratings stored in the iTunes library and those embedded inside of an MP3 file (as the ‘POPM' popularimeter tag, which is intended for this very purpose.) It also stores the played count field in the ‘POPM' ID3 tag. The script works on Mac and Windows. As the POPM tag is stored inside of the MP3 file, the ratings can "travel" with the files themselves. It can be a useful way to backup and exchange ratings.

The script is available free of charge at:
