deleted1292920931 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I would love to be able to select multiple tracks, and apply a single rating to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I have provided this functionality in my app New Playlist Manager. You can rate a whole playlist in one simple action. It will update the ratings in the Poweramp database after which you also can either back them up or write them to the mp3 tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The features it offers are pretty amazing, but unfortunately I couldn't get it working for me. It seems to only apply the Poweramp rating to some tracks, and not others.

From what Max said originally, part of the reason PA does not write ratings back to files is that not all file formats support them properly anyway.

If I understand correctly, the options in New Playlist Manager for "ratings" is for writing ratings to metadata of supported file formats, and "Poweramp ratings" is for writing ratings to the Poweramp database. I'm using the "Poweramp ratings" option to apply ratings that will show up in Poweramp, but ratings aren't being written for some tracks when applying ratings to a playlist of tracks. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for the songs it fails on. It's not any particular file type, and some songs are from the same album.

flyingdutchman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 When you bulk update a playlists rating, a logfile is created in the playist_manager folder. On completion, a notification appears which you can tap in order to open it. It appears you did not look at this as it will tell you which tracks were updated and reasons for those that did not.

I didn't notice any notification, but I've checked the log file, and it contains several lines of "File not found: null". The files are found and playable in Poweramp.

flyingdutchman Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 They may have .wav extension. These file types are not recognised by android. My routine ,looks at the android database in the first place and then finds the equivalent in the Poweramp database, reason for doing this was probably due to limitations under Poweramp v2. The routine could probably do with an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My music is m4a (AAC, ALAC) created by iTunes, and flac. I have a few mp3, but not many. The affected tracks are m4a (AAC), m4a (ALAC), and FLAC. I'm not sure if any mp3s are affected. Don't feel compelled to reply by the way . I'm not trying to turn this into a support thread for you product , and even though it's not working for me, I do appreciate the hard work you've put into it.

For those interested in bulk updating Poweramp ratings and mp3 ratings tags, I have improved the routines.
