Hi Bluenote,
Yup, I re-adjusted them - but even if I set them back to their default values I get this weirdness, where only 7 or so tracks in my library get rated above 0! (with the previous version it was several hundred)
I have enabled logging the ratings with parameter settings in this build:
http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcef...7.5.0-setup.zip
Could you please re-run adjusting ratings?
It should give a log like:

5.7.5.0 Enabled logging Track Ratings to file. Accessible via Context Menu > Logs > Tracks that Ratings was adjusted...
5.7.4.6 Delete the generated 0 KiB Music folder activity file on iTSfv exit
5.7.4.5 Tagging "Unknown Album" to songs where the album tag is blank is now optional [Bluenote]
5.7.4.4 Adjusting rating fails with 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' if track tags were incomplete [Ryan]
5.7.4.3 iTSfv would crash it found a non existant track while determining folder where most music is
5.7.4.2 iTMS artwork was not embedded if no artwork was found in music folder and also disabled creation of Folder.jpg and Artwork.jpg
5.7.4.1 Fixed [ itsfv-Bugs-1790526 ] Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow while adjust ratings [Andre]
Yes, that's exactly how I've been doing it. I just realized though that iTSfv seems to add "Unknown Album" to songs where the album tag is blank.... why is it doing this?! I thought if I don't use any of the "validate" functions I'd be safe?
Sorry about this. I jumped the gun and went ahead adding "Unknown Album" to tracks with empty Album Name as part of validation because having empty tags at the time didn't make sense. I have made this optional now for everybody and disabled by default. To enable Album Browser > F2.
iTSfv will never edit tags in tracks without user interaction again.
Looks fine to me. Strange. The only thing that seems a little unusual is that after the rating process is complete (the program's title bar counts up to 100% twice) the display at the bottom of the window still seems stuck on "Adjusting My Rating" - I had previously assumed this is just cosmetic, however?
Hope I'm making some sense here, thanks again! Bluenote
"Adjusting My Rating" stuck was the kicker feedback you gave me thanks. After a proper job, it should revert back to "Ready", which means that Adjusting rating job crashed. I think I know what caused it, a feature after 5.2:
5.4.0.0 iTSfv will remove white spaces in Artist, Album and Name tags during validation
For example, if you had "Best of Boney M " then iTSfv will fix it as "Best of Boney M".
It makes sense now. Because you had empty album tags, iTSfv attempted to trim out spaces and crashed.
5.7.4.4 Adjusting rating fails with 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' if track tags were incomplete [Ryan] -- I think this is exactly what happened to you as well and the fix that you were after.
I am quite confident it will work for you now.
Cheers,
