Just a little follow-up. So it seems that SOME songs just do not have any statistics at all, and those are the tracks for which I am unable to set the rating. It is definitely a database issue. For those tracks, I also observe there is no play count or last played or score.
Is there a nice way to create valid entries for the statistics for these tracks that seem to be not ratable anymore? I suspect there is a database issue here.
