Rating colum won't work

Hi all,

I'm using CUI. I'm not exactly incredibly knowledgeable with foobar but I certainly can make my way around what's customizable with default CUI stuff. I'm using a hotkeyed masstagger for song ratings and album ratings atm. Previously I was tagging the ratings as setting the comments so that the ratings would transfer if I ever decided to switch over to iTunes, winamp, etc. However, I've decided for no real reason that I'd rather use the rating field. I switched all of my masstag scripts from comment to rating and fixed up my columns to add a rating column, but it's just not displaying. Even though the rating field clearly has a value in it it's displaying "?" (indicative of an empty field of course). The album rating column is working fine, and the comment column worked fine. Any idea why the rating column is giving me problems? It's definitely nothing going on with typos as I've already investigated that.

If this were the DUI, I would be more confident as to issue. Nevertheless, it is painless and quick to replace %rating% with meta$(rating). Do values show?

meta$(rating) makes the column display as "meta[UNKNOWN FUNCTION]"

that's a typo. it should be

$meta(rating)

sorry, dyslexia got in the way.

$meta(rating)

EDIT: All of this assumes you have playback statistics component loaded and you[r] rating field is in conflict with it's rating that is stored in database and takes precedence. Mentioned in documentation for the component

Ha, sorry. I never use any type of scripty stuff for columns so I didn't know. $meta(rating) works fine. Thanks
