Rating values changed in conversion

[Seamus]

I'm a new user to dppowerAMP, using R12 on XP (sp2). I've run into an issue when doing a bulk conversion of FLAC tracks to mp3. The rating tags are modified rather than being copied as per the FLAC tag's value. Is there a way to prevent this field from being changed? If so, how is it done? I couldn't find an option for it.

I didn't realize this was happening until after the bulk conversion, which took 40 hours, was completed. :( . On the positive side, this is half the time that it use to take with a different program.

Can you give examples please?

Re: Rating values changed in conversion

I use MediaMonkey as a music player on my computer. It assigns ratings from 0 to 5 stars in 1/2 star increments. Each half star has a value of 10 in the tags, with the numbers going from 0 to 100. A one star track has a value of 20 in the tag.

After the conversion, every track that had at least a 1/2 star rating has had its tag changed by dbpowerAMP to a fixed value of 4.5. I'm reading the values for the FLAC and mp3 files from the dbpowerAMP tooltip.

The problem is for FLAC there is no rating standard, MM just uses 0-100, another program might use 0-5, another 0-10. For mp3 there is a standard, which is 0-10 off the top of my head.
