So I was using kameleon_rate_to_db=1 because I didn't want to change the "Date Modified" for my mp3's, but then I noticed that once I moved an album folder from one location to another, the ratings would get lost! So I gave in and changed the above setting back to "0" so that ratings get tagged in the file... however, now when I rate an mp3, the tags are lost, at least in the Vista Windows Explorer view as well as in the dbPowerAmp tab in file properties:
First 2 tracks were rated with default setting (in Tag, not database):

Anyone know what the deal is with this?
Can someone help me with the above issue? Any info is much appreciated, thx!
Also, for some reason, shpeck is now displaying in its own window, rather than in the VIS panel. How can I force shpeck to display in the VIS panel? Right now it is blank/black:
Hi,
I think there is something to correct in your epl playlist code about the autorating, you use %play_counter% that works only if you have play_counter tags instead of $get(play_counter) that will work for play_count and play_counter tags
I use play_count and i had to replace the line
$if(%play_counter%,$puts(rating,$div(%play_counter%,$get(autorate.add))),$puts(rating,0))
by
$if($get(play_counter),$puts(rating,$div($get(play_counter),$get(autorate.add))),$puts(rating,0))
to have the stars display correctly.
Thanks - but I don't see this code anywhere. What I was editing originally to change the Rating from tag to database was this code in the Rating splitter:

I have it set just as above now but when I rate a track I lose all tags when viewing in Windows Explorer, dbPowerAmp, etc. Foobar seems to read them OK though... Another thing is that I have foo_playcount.dll loaded but no config for it in Foobar Preferences:
Also, if anyone can help me with the shpeck issue, that would be great too! This config was working so well until recently - not sure what went wrong.
