Hi DJSoft team,
I'd like to suggest a small feature: an option to set a default rating for newly imported tracks — for example, a "Default rating for new tracks" dropdown in Settings → General, where 0 keeps the current behavior.
Use case: I run a 24/7 station with an automated music pipeline. All my produced content is pre-vetted 5-star material, but each track arrives in the library with rating 0 and has to be rated manually. With many imports a week, this becomes tedious.
Things I tried first:
I'm currently working around this with a small script that updates tracks2.rating directly, but a first-class setting would obviously be cleaner — and I'd imagine anyone else running automated content (auto-generated music, scheduled podcast import, etc.) would benefit from it too.
Thanks for the great software — happy to provide more details about my setup if useful.

Things I tried first:
- "Additional track information storage location → APEv2" did make RadioBoss pick up file-tag ratings, but it caused other tags (Genre, Year) to be stripped during edits, so I had to revert to SQLite.
- Pre-writing ID3v2 POPM (Popularimeter) frames into the MP3s before import — confirmed RadioBoss in SQLite mode doesn't read POPM during import.
- Checked the manual and forum: makelibrary supports Tags but not Rating.
