MusicBrainzRating - submit your track ratings to MusicBrainz.org (1 Viewer)

[chefkoch]

Hi

I tag all my files using MusicBrainz Picard tagger, which is also able to write ratings into my tags.

But I don't like to rate music on the website and prefer to rate while I am listening to it, so I wrote this small process plugin.
It submits track ratings which you do by pressing buttons 0-5 on keyboard or remote while you are in MyMusicPlayingNow screen.
I thought it might be useful for others, too, so I am sharing it here.

The plugin requires the MusicBrainz TrackID in the track's tag to be able to submit the rating.

Any chance I could make this plugin groom my library and submit the average ratings (from the website) for all my tracks that currently have none.. Thats about 9000 tracks.. I'm not going to do it my self... LOL

Hi thesystemera,

Sorry for the late answer, but I am a bit busy with real life these days.

I personally wanted to keep that plugin simple, small and just for sending / receiving ratings for current file, to have full control over the files which gets rated: only those which are already rated on your own on MusicBrainz and those you rated in MediaPortal.

Currently there is no possibility to receive or submit ratings for your complete library or directories and the ratings which are received are only your personal ratings, not the public average ratings.

It would be possible to get the average rating from MusicBrainz for a track, but I think MusicBrainz isn't the best choice for average ratings, yet, because not much users rate their music there.
Last.Fm or RateYourMusic.com would be better for that use case.
