howdy y'all,

os = Windows 7x64, sp1
itunes = 12.3.1.23

i've been seeking a way to clear the album rating that is auto-generated -sometimes- for some tracks. while looking at the various track properties exposed by itunes in windows, i found the following two things ...

"
AlbumRatingKind : 1
ratingKind : 1
"

if you are running windows and have powershell installed, you can get that info thus ...

• start itunes
  
• make sure you have at least 10 tracks in itunes [grin]
  
• start the powershell ISE [i am running version 4.0 on windows 7, so that command is either "use the icon" or "PowerShell_ISE.exe"]
  
• enter the following lines in the new script file area ...
  

"
$iTunesApp = New-Object -comObject iTunes.Application
$iMainLibrary = $iTunesApp.LibraryPlaylist
$iTracks = $iMainLibrary.Tracks
$iCurrentItem = $iTracks.Item(10)
$iCurrentItem
"

• use either file/run or the green "run" icon to run the script [you may get a warning about not having saved the script - that can be ignored]
  
• after a few moments [or several seconds, depending on how big your itunes library is] you should see the list of properties for the 10th track in your itunes library
  

down at the very bottom of the list are the two items i listed earlier ... albumratingtype & ratingtype.

does anyone know what they do?

take care,
lee
