Will future version sync ratings with Itunes or Isyncr?


Recommended Posts

I see you are planning to add ratings in the future. Will they be compatible with Isyncr? I rely on ratings to work with my playlists, as well as delete 1 star crappy songs that sneak into my library somehow. For now, I have to rely on Player Pro, Isyncr, and Itunes. That's the only way I can rate songs on the phone(Droid X), use Isyncr to sync those ratings back to Itunes, where I can update my playlists and delete unwanted songs.

But I'm forced to use Player Pro to get this work, where I'd much rather use Poweramp because it sounds so much better!

iSyncr does not support ratings in tags. It has a simple interface to allow other apps to query and set ratings, which PlayerPro currently uses.

I contacted Max a while back offering up the simple interface to get/set ratings from iSyncr, and am still willing to. This feature could be done as quickly as the Poweramp UI can be created.

I see. Thanks for the info, Justin.

As I can say now, PowerAMP will use appropriate rartng tags in songs. Unfortunately, not all file formats support that tag (some formats don't have tags at all, like raw aac), so something will be done to support ratings via database and its technically possible to integrate it with number of syncing apps.

I would really, really love to see iSyncr support.

To the user being forced to use another player -- my hacky solution to this is to put the iSyncr ratings widget on my home screen, then if I want to rate a song, I pop over to the home screen, rate it, then pop back into Poweramp. It works, but I would dearly love to have native integration into the app itself -- sometimes with new music I am not sure if I've rated it yet, and I have to load my home screen to see this information currently.
