Hi, is there any possibility that I can import the rating ID3 tags into PLEX?  
Many of my songs are rated by ID3 tags but cannot be imported to PLEX. I have to rate each of songs by myself.  
Wish this can be easily done.

Hi,  
I have the same problem with my music library.  
I actually can not believe, that there is no way to import already existing id3 rating ans genre tags.

This seemingly basic request has existed for years. I’ve yet to see any response from Plex.

Now on to at least 3 years for a basic feature that should both pull the ratings from the file and update the rating when it’s changed in Plex.

Please please please make this happen. Makes Plex unusable with a big collection
