On Windows 10, you can check the properties of a file, and in the details tab it will show a Rating field with a value of 0-5 stars. I believe this is a ID3 metadata tag or something? Anyway, how can I make this show up in Plex?
You canāt, unfortunately. Plex doesnāt support reading the āRatingā metadata.

Thanks for your reply.
Youāre right. Thereās a very good reason why music players choose to use a custom database to store the ratings. However, a con to this is that thereās no standard to how this information is stored, and thus, itās not very easy to sync your album ratings all from one place. When it comes specifically to Plex, it seems very possible to create a plugin that consumes an API to set the ratings for the albums.
Off-topic Android development stuff:
The bigger problem is that thereās not really any music player for Android that supports plugins. Iām currently using GoneMad Music Player, and I found a gmml.db SQLite database with a song_ratings column, and I think I might be able to use triggers to fire a python script, however, if GoneMad deletes gmml.db, then my trigger will be removed as well. Therefore, it seems like I need to monitor the activity of the app somehow, since Iām not an Android developer, I donāt know how to do this, but Iām looking into something they call āIntentsā, and maybe that might help me out.
