Method Three here explains clearly how to create and use two different iTunes Libraries, in my case one Library for iPhone, the other one for iPod touch.ģ. I don't want to use different Windows accounts.Ģ. My scripts page already has ResetAlbumAutoRating and ResetTrackAutoRating scripts if you need to remove those 1% values, or you can simply set a new rating and then remove it.1. For iTunes from 0%-9% is no stars, 10%-19% is ½ star, 20%-29% is 1 star, etc., with bigger ranges when half-ratings are not enabled. Presumably Beatunes is treating anything from 1%-10% as ½ star, 11%-20% as 1 star, and so on.

My scripts set a manual rating of 1% which iTunes treats as less than ½ and so displays as no rating, but it suppresses any auto-rating. If 0% iTunes will offer a track-auto rating based on any manual album rating and an album auto-rating based upon manual track ratings. The album and track ratin properties take a value from 0% to 100%. I haven't set back yet but presumably they will disappear if I do. Once enabled you can set half-ratings via the iTunes interface. This build displays ½ rather than a half-star.

Tested on iTunes 11.1.5 running on Windows 7 32-bit, but no reason to expect platform differences. I've had a quick check and the iTunesPrefs.xml hack works for me to enable half-ratings. This is confusing, because my prefs already contain the following at the end:Īm I supposed to keep my existent, and just add after, or do I replace what is there?Īny help/advice would be very much appreciated. They suggest adding: storefront 143441-1,12 at the end of iTunesPrefs.xml

Hence why I was wondering if this hack still works on 64bit version of iTunes (running on 64bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise). The most common way of altering iTunesPrefs.xml did not do anything for me: One of the things I just tried doing was enabling iTunes to use half star ratings (so i could see the 1/2 rated songs would then show), but I have not been able to figure out how to do this. At this time, I have not heard back from the developer, as I just posted it a few hours ago.
I've started a thread in Beatunes forum ( ), but figured I would start one here to ask for advice, or see if there are any other scripts I should consider trying. I can't figure out what is triggering this. When I sync the Beatunes database with the iTunes database, the songs I had rated 2 stars go back to "1/2" rating, and not an empty field. I then used Steve MacGuire's ClearTrackAutoRating script on those selected tracks: Most ratings change to empty values, while some decide to take on hollow star values, which is really really annoying. I would then go back to iTunes, right click on all selected songs, and change rating value to "None". When I sync the Beatunes database to the iTunes database, eventually the Beatuens ratings change to 2 stars (sometimes, it takes a few syncs). For testing purposes, I changed all songs to have 2 stars. In iTunes, I would then select the "Show" column, and highlight all the songs with "Half" in the "Show" column, right click, and change the rating value for all songs. Itunes library seems to see these songs as having no rating.īeatunes does not allow ratings to be edited, and since the 1/2 is not seen in iTunes, I would select all those songs and use an empty tag (such as "Show") and designate the value as "Half". In short, when I access my Itunes library via Beatunes, about 5000 songs appear to have "1/2" in the rating field. I've never used half star ratings on my iTunes library, and upon reading, am not certain if this is possible anymore.įor the last few months, I've been using Beatunes to organize my large sized iTunes library, but seem to have hit some glitches related to ratings.
Secondly, is there a way to enable half star ratings in the latest 64bit version of iTunes (running on 64bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise)? Is there a windows script that would enable to batch edit ratings in both the iTunes library, and within each mp3?
