Rating from MediaMonkey to foobar2000

Hi there. Yet another MediaMonkey to foobar2000 issue. I have lots of tracks rated in MediaMonkey but i have troubles bringing the rating to foobar2000.
  • Most of my tracks are ogg or flacs. MediaMonkey writes the rating to a "RATING" tag that fb2k reads without any troubles. I can even import those ratings to the database automatically using foo_playcount. Unfortunately the ratings are written by MM in a 0-100 scale and fb2k doesn't do maths, it just sets everything that's bigger than 5 as 5 stars ... that means all my rated tracks  .
    I guess i could use the tag tools to do the maths and change the tag but if possible i'd like to keep my ratings available in both apps. I don't plan to stop using MediaMonkey for fb2k as i think both are excellent applications and each does some things better than the other. What i plan to do is make fb2k my main player as it's lighter on the system.
  • For those tracks i had to buy in MP3, MM writes it's rating to a "Rating" tag according to DBPowerAMP in a 0-5 scale but i don't see this tag in foobar2000. I'm not sure what MM uses internally but it does write something to the tags as DBPowerAMP can read the rating. Maybe it uses the same problematic tag as WinAMP.

Any idea how i could solve those issues without lots of manual manipulations while keeping ratings compatible with both applications?
