Hello all, i have been using itunes for archiving and organizing my music for a long time now, and the first thing i missed when searching for my tracks in Scratch live were the song ratings.
In itunes i always have my sort order on ratings , so when i type in a artist or song name, my personal favorite of that song or artist is the top on or one of the top once in my search result.
Thats speeds up my searches a lot, i noticed just now when i dont have that option in Scratch live, like i have it in iTunes.

Since a lot of other fields are already there i would hope that it's not to much of a hassle to bring this option to Scratch live, it would really help me alot in finding my tracks faster in the interface, just like i do with iTunes now, it's so much faster that way.

Thank you in advance for this very usefull extra functionallity ..

+1 , i'm using Mediamonkey at home on the same MP3 library that the one I use with serato. And I use the rating (the "stars") (by the way, Mediamonkey allows 10 levels of rating with half star unit, where itune just allows 5 levels).
That would be really great to have this tag field able to appear

Thanks

I have spoken with reps with this issue too. I think a rating would be IDEAL. Production and DJ are now my career. When I'm at the gym, or on a plane, I listen to tracks on my iphone or laptop and rate them. To have these ratings transfer over would be great.

Mediamonkey? I used to use Winamp back in the day, but iTunes is not only a standard, but it's stable, backed by, what I consider a solid company (Apple), and is free. Why not? :)

One possible workaround (something I use for "five star" songs) is to create a Smart Playlist(s) based on rating.

Those will show up in SSL.

I already did that and yes it works, but if i would not be a big programming thing it would be much easier to just have the ratings show up in serato, like they do in itunes, saves a lot of switching.

Now i first look for tracks in the 5 star playlist, the my 4 star playlist en then the total library, since i haven't rated all my tracks yet.

If the ratings would be vissible i can see all of this in 1 search of a track or artist name, the rated onces and the not rated ones.

+1 For me !

Raphael: because MediaMonkey is simply much better! And yup, +1 to this. I'd love to have ratings come in from multiple programs, itunes and MM.

I don't use the ratings, but this would be a good idea, then I might use them!!!

I posted a "how to" import iTunes ratings into serato bit.ly

+1!

As of right now I do all my previewing and set building in iTunes because I can only rate the songs in that interface. Incorporating this into SSL would mean much less reliance on iTunes' clunky interface. +1

curious as to why they haven't been able to implement this.

bleh!! Kill iTunes!
