3. I just wanted to point out that there is a playlist called 'My Top Rated' where are all the song that are rated 4 or 5 stars- I've been using rating system to collect all my favourite songs in one playlist and that was the best feature on Apple Music for me personally as all I needed to do is give a song a 4 or 5 stars and it would automatically appear in the 'My Top Rated' playlist.

ITunes Alternative 3: SynciOS. SynciOS is a viable free alternative to iTunes with features useful to sync music, videos, and photos from PC to iPhone, iPod, and iPad. During the process of music and video files of the file transfer on the iPhone, this tool is able to perform the conversion in the format compatible with the device itself. Star Ratings are hidden in the Share Screen, so to see them, you’ll need to tap the Share icon on any given song and tap Rate Song. Share Screen in iOS 10.2 beta with Show Ratings turned on.

I enjoy using half-stars to ratings in iTunes because the 5 star rating system alone is a little limited. I had tons of music rated 4 stars that really didn’t deserve that rating, but were too good for a 3 star rating. Luckily I found a command that allows this feature to be enabled. I’ve tested this in iTunes 12, and it works great!

iTunes for Windows

1. Make sure you are closed out of the iTunes application.
2. Select the “Start” button, then type “cmd“.
3. Right-click “Command Prompt“, then select “Run as Administrator“.
4. Type the following depending on your version of Windows, then press “Enter“:
   • Windows 64-bit:
     'C:Program FilesiTunesiTunes.exe' /setPrefInt allow-half-stars 1
   • Windows 32-bit:
     'C:Program Files (x86)iTunesiTunes.exe' /setPrefInt allow-half-stars 1

Now launch iTunes, and you will be able to click and slide your mouse along the rating column and produce half star ratings.

If you ever wish to go back to only whole star ratings, simply use the same command with a “0” at the end instead of a “1“.

iTunes for MacOS

1. Close iTunes.
2. Launch “Terminal” from “Utilities.
3. Type:
   defaults write com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars -bool TRUE
4. Press “Enter“.

You have successfully enabled half-star ratings in iTunes for MacOS. If you ever want to undo this, just use the same command but replace the word “TRUE” with “FALSE“.

Note: If you’re using Apple Music, replace “iTunes” with “Music” in the command.

When I restore my iTunes library, my ratings stay intact without this...

Fast and simple I think not. Just clone the iTunes folder from your Music folder. This keeps everything in tact. This guys way is not only tediously slow (why don't you at least make smart playlists for each rating?) but it doesn't preserve play counts and so on.

So, I may be wrong about this, but I thought the ratings were stored in the file 'iTunes Music Library.xml', located in your iTunes music folder. Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just backup this file from time to time?

This is the best way to back up your ratings of songs.
1. Rate your songs
2. Make Smart Playlist
2a. ALL
2.b Comment - Does not Include - star
2.c My Rating - is not - 0 stars
3. Change the (2c) setting to each star rating, ex. 'My Rating - is not - (1,2,3,4,5) star'
4.For each set of 1 Star rated songs add '1 Star' to the Comment
5.Repeat 4 for each star rating...ex. put '4 Stars' in the comment field of those songs rated 4 Stars
Now after adding the rating to the comment field even if you remove the songs from iTunes your ratings will still be saved in the comment field.
Then when you want to put the songs back in iTunes. Make a Smart Playlist with, Comment contains 'star', ALL, My Rating is '0 Stars'. Then just quickly rate your already rated songs.
I'm writing this fast and hope this is understandable. If not, send me a message and I'll help.

As a reminder, you can make smart-playlists, set them as 'rating is not...' or 'rating is...' or 'rating...whatever' then drag the smart-playlists on the PLAYLISTS source pane. It will make new (regular) playlists which you can now export...

the problem with putting info in the File's Spotlight Comment in the Finder is that the information is only stored if you keep the file on a Macintosh, by using the Comment field in the actually ID3 tags, no matter what system you take it too, you will still have the info.

Yes, definitely, if that's a concern... there's a script on Doug's Applescripts which will copy Finder comments to ID3 tag comments and back, which would make a good companion script to the one I mentioned earlier.

HELP!!!
I have reinstalled itunes after whipping out my comp. I have re-imported my files from an external and kept the original library.xml and itunes library file. I replace the existing files with the originals but this does not seem to give me my ratings back. When I import the .xml file my playlists show up but I can not import the itunes library file. Therefore I have no ratings at the moment.
Any suggestions?

Let me (SeanG) explain my situation (Windows):
First, my old set-up...
(C:) Main Hard-Drive (Raptor 150GB)
(D:) Misc (1TB)
(E:) I-Tunes (2TB)
(F:) Movies (2TB)
(M:) Back-up Removable (1.5TB)
I had a new main hard-drive installed, so my new setup is...
(C:) Main Hard-Drive (Intel SSD 160GB)
(D:) Misc (1TB)
(E:) I-Tunes (2TB)
(F:) Movies (2TB)
(M:) Back-up Removable (1.5TB)
So what is my problem? I always install I-Tunes onto my C-drive, but all the files are kept on my E-drive. When I had the new hard-drive installed they copied my old drive info into a file on my D-drive. So when I reinstall my I-tunes, while I can find my music files on E-drive, I have lost all my 5-star. I have access to the old Itunes XML file (which I believe has all this info?) on the created file of my old hard-drive which was placed on the D-drive. I have 5,300[+] 5-star songs. I read this program can help recover the old info, thus recover my five-star info? Am I wrong? If this program cannot, maybe I can get a refund. I will keep and use this program if you can explain how I can save my hard-work.

That last paragraph was written to someone else... but you can get the gist of the prop from it.

Awesome setup! I wish I had all that storage including SSD!
Anyway, sorry, I meant to respond to this sooner so I'm sure you already have an answer by now, but just in case you don't... can you clear out your entire library and just choose Import Library and select the XML file? (I'd first back up both the XML file and your current iTunes library file - .itl or whatever)
Actually, now that I think about it, I'd try first just taking the iTunes Music Library.itl (or whatever the library file is called) from the D: drive and replacing the one on the C: drive (while iTunes is closed of course - again making sure to backup the files involved.) I'd think that should work since the music is all in the same location, but if not then you could try the other thing.
Just FYI, the xml file is just an xml formatted backup of what's stored in the library file (not sure exactly if it gets updated every time you quit iTunes or when you make a change or what.)

Thank You. I did figure it out, but I am saving your comment for future tweaking, it is a big help.

I just did a search and ended up here - hopefully someone can help me out. I recently had to recreate my i-tunes library from a previous library ( did that successfully), but all my play counts are gone and I love to keep track of how many times songs were played. Is there any way that can be restored? I would appreciate any help. I don't know if I am allowed to put my email address in here or not but you can email me at wehodude@sbcglobal.net if you know how to restore my play counts. Thank You!
