Itunes Ratings

Is it possible to add the iTunes ratings (stars) to a display in samurize?

I've been messing around with crni's covers config, which is great by the way, and I have modded it to include album name, a progress meter, and controls, but I can't figure out how to add my ratings to the display.

So, does anyone know if it is possible, or is it a future feature that needs to be requested?

I have found that this is the Line of code in the iTunes Music Library.xml

<key>Rating</key><integer>100</integer>

It looks like it goes on a 100 point scale. If there is no Rating Key, 0 stars, 20 = 1 and so on.

This may help a little.

it's a start I guess,

I really don't know much about samurize, other than what I've been able to dissect from other people's configs.

I have no idea how to apply that bit of knowledge though.

any input from the samurize super users?

Someone could make a plugin that reads the xml file and converts the % rating to stars.

Infact it should be quite easy, you might want to ask about it in samurize.com

anybody have any new news on this?

i asked @ Samurize boards and no one showed any interest :(

the impression i got was that if enough people showed interest, torsius(i think that was his name, but i could be mixing up guys) would probably take a look at it, you should post a link to the thread you asked in(i already posted in it awhile back) unbeliever, and then anyone interested here can head over there and just say that they're interested(without being pushy).

Cool, thanks for the legwork unbeliever,

I would like to see this implemented, just as a visual feature of the desktop display. Hopefully it works out.

Also, I hope they push the ID3 tag reading for cover art, that would be sweet.

If that is the case, maybe they could update the tags with the downloaded art.
