Bug ID: 454437
Summary: Ratings written using kid3-cli are inconsistently
stored
Product: kid3
Version: 3.9.x
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: uflei...@users.sourceforge.net

Zip file containing audio files in different formats
SUMMARY
When I set ratings using the GUI, they are correctly stored in the files, using
each file format’s rating system. For example, see the attached files (with no
ratings). If I set the rating to 4/5 stars in the UI, the following information
is saved in the files:
m4a: 80 (Rating Percent)
mp3: 196 (Popularimeter)
ogg: 80
wma: 75 (Shared User Rating)
If I reopen the files, they are all (correctly) shown was 4/5 stars in the UI.
However, if I use the command-line to try to do the same thing, the rating
mapping doesn’t work. And which ratings are saved depends on *how* I invoke
kid3-cli: 1) separate command for each file, or 2) using filename wildcards.
If I do:
for i in *; do kid3-cli -c 'set Rating 80' $i; done
I get the following in the UI:
m4a: 4 stars
mp3: 2 stars
ogg: 4 stars
wma: 80 (numeric value, no stars shown)
If I instead do:
kid3-cli -c 'set Rating 80' *
I get the following the UI:
m4a: 80 (Rating Information)
mp3: 80 (Rating Information)
ogg: 80 (RATING INFORMATION)
wma: 80 (Rating Information)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unzip the attached file into an empty folder.
2. In this folder, type: for i in *; do kid3-cli -c 'set Rating 80' $i; done
3. Unzip the attached file into another folder.
4. In this second folder, type: kid3-cli -c 'set Rating 80' *
OBSERVED RESULT
See above.
EXPECTED RESULT
The two methods of invoking kid3-cli should result in the *same* ratings
stored. And the ratings should correspond to 4/5 stars. (Though I’m not sure
the ‘Rating’ field is the correct field to use, as the scale is ill-defined.
Perhaps a new field called ‘Stars’ or ‘RatingStars’ could be added?)
