Album Rating

Is it possible to have Foobar calculate the average rating of songs within an album to come up with a rating for the album as a whole? If it is, how would you go about it?

Perhaps a bit off topic, but ...

Can anybody tell me where ALBUM RATING is stored?

I think RATING (track rating)  is stored in POPM tag, but where's the ALBUM RATING stored?

shakey_snake, thanks for pointing to that thread.

I knew it .... and ..... couldn't find an answer to my question.

Did I overlook something?

Basically the way foobar is constructed, any tag could be anything.
However, the agreed upon standard tag name for album rating is a tag named ALBUM RATING.

How exactly that is stored would depend on what type of tags you're using and foo_custominfo settings.

Hmm .... don't know if we're talking about the same things?

What I mean is the place where the type 2.4 information is stored in the file:

TIT2 = TITLE
TPE1 = ARTIST
TALB = ALBUM
TRCK = TRACK
TCON = GENRE
TDRC = YEAR 

???? = RATING
???? = ALBUM RATING

So, where is RATING (track rating) and ALBUM RATING stored?

shakey_snake, it would be fantastic if you could help.

So i guess its stored in TXXX frame.

So it should be like this:

POPM = RATING (track rating)
TXXX = ALBUM RATING

Is there somebody from "the night shift" to confirm this?

According to wiki RATING isn't mapped to any special frame. So its stored in TXXX. Easy to check with hex editor to make sure.
