Import ratings from Amarok

[Adam Olsen]

I've got a lot of music manually rated with Amarok. I'd love to import this rating data into Exaile (where I find it much more difficult to rate music, as it's buried in a contextual menu).

(Caveat: Amarok uses a 5 star rating system, while Exaile uses a 4 star rating system.)

This ticket was migrated from the old trac: re #725

i used the following method:
create a playlist for each rating value in amarok and save it as .m3u. then you can import this playlists one by one, select all tracks and rate them

One could adapt the following script which extracts the ratings from Amaroks SQLite database and makes it usable in MusicBrainz: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Bogdanb/RatingsSubmitter

About the odd rating handling: ratings use 5 stars by default since quite a long time and are easily accessible from everywhere including a dedicated column in playlists.

Adding script from MusicBrainz in case the site is not available.
