how does the ratings feature in picard 0.12 work? Will it get the ratings I made on the web site for my account? I don't really get why I should specify an e-mail address in the settings

the -email adress is just an identifier, so there can be severel ratings in one file

ID3 specifies it to be an e-mail, but it might depend on the player you want to use

e.g. windows media player uses "Windows Media Player 9 Series" instead of an e-mail

ah, ok. So it stores a tuple (identifier I made in settings at "Metadata \ Ratings", rating it got from account info from setting in "General") in the file

does itunes read the info for mp3s?
2009-11-01 30515, 2009

AFAIK no

not so nice that it seems to be gone from their website
2009-11-01 30543, 2009
MClemo
outsidecontext: I'll test it anyway. That would be a nice feature for me

the key generation seems to be gone too
2009-11-01 30550, 2009
MClemo
hopefully they bring it up again

I don't like the mixer thing
2009-11-01 30507, 2009

still got my old key and it works, though

mclemo: i think itunes only uses it's local database for the ratings and does not read the ratings tags at all

did you forgot to readd that collab link after you cancelled the one which was the wrong way around?
2009-11-01 30535, 2009
MClemo
outsidecontext: yeah, seems that way. I just googled for it
