Ratings in FLAC and Traktor

I have trouble of getting ratings to work. I did according to this instruction:


http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=59187


I use both Foobar2000 and Native Instruments Traktor and I would like ratings to be synced perfectly. With MP3 it seems to work almost as it should according to my few tests. Alhtough I found one trouble. If I set rating to 0 from Foobar2000, in Traktor it claims that the rating is 3. Other values seems working.


The bigger problem is though that FLAC ratings do not work/sync at all. If I set a rating for FLAC in Traktor it does not show in Foobar2000 and vice versa. I have latest Foobar2000 (1.3.8, and Traktor 2.6.8 on Windows 7 64-bit. Is there any way to get them working...?




Then there is another issue (although smaller one). If I want to update rating in Foobar2000, I need 5 mouse clicks in total. It is too much. In my opinion it should work as follows: 1. right click a tune, move the mouse down to Rating, move mouse to the right where there is 5 ratings in a list, and click one of them. I think in some other media players it works like this. Is it somehow possible to do in Foobar?

Here is how I solved this.

First you need quick tagger tool for Foobar. I dont remember exactly what preferences I changed but I think two most important screens are as screenshot here.

The thing is that you need that in FLAC ratings are not 0,1,2,3,4,5 but they are 0. 51, 102, 153, 204, 255. So when you set up a rating (and read a rating) in Foobar you need to remember this. In Traktor they appear as they should.

Ratings for FLAC work OK. Ratings for MP3 dont. Except for ratings 5,4,1,0. If i set a rating of 3 in Foobar it will appear as 2 in Traktor, if I remember correctly.
