Free rating software for mac

Rating Writer is a small utility for iTunes 4 and Mac OS X that allows the user to write their current song ratings to the songs ID3 tag (in the comments field) and then later restore the ratings to a different iTunes library.

Since iTunes Library keeps crashing occasionally I was searching for a way to preserve all metadata. The tags are safely stored inside the files. Only the rating is not.

Thats what iTunes Backup and Restore Rating Scripts does - it backups the rating into the (at least for me) useless BPM-Tag. Its also an script for restoring into rating included.

Hidden functionality is built into iTunes that allows songs to be rated on a scale of 0 to 100 instead of just 0 to 5. In fact, a * rating is really 20, a ** rating is really 40, a *** rating is really 60, a **** rating is really 80, and a ***** rating is really 100.
With HiRate, you can take advantage of this functionality to improve your iTunes ratings. Perhaps you have a song that you rated four-star, but like a bit better than your other four-star songs.
Using HiRate, you can raise the rating to 81. It will still show up in iTunes as a four-star song, but youll see it at the top of your four-star songs when sorting by rating.
Enhancements:
- Most unimportant UI elements are smaller
- The Quick Rating text has been removed
- The heading for numeric equivalents is gone now
- Added an "Album" field.
- Changed the documentation to reflect changes and clarify a few issues.
- All references to 1.0b1 or 1.0b2 (?!) should now be changed to 1.0.
- Added an Easter Egg. :-)
- Title, Artist, and Album fields are now selectable, so you can copy the text.
- HiRate is 1.0 now, so nobody needs to worry about downloading a beta.
- Fixed a silly bug that wouldnt let you close the about box with Command-W

Rate-O-Matic is a small AppleScript that enables you to rate the currently playing iTunes track.

Run this script while the song you want to rate is playing, and you will be prompted to enter your rating, zero to five.

This is the first script I have written, and it is fairly rudimentary and far from perfect, but it works quite well.

Enhancements: Initial public release.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
