4 years ago First, playcount and rating can be saved, though using the fmps standard, which might not be widespread (I really have no clue).
You should be able to edit a few lines to achieve what you want, as an example, here is the definitions for the rating field:
rating =>
{ name => _"Rating", width => 80, flags => 'fgaescp', type => 'rating',
id3v2 => 'TXXX;FMPS_Rating_User;%v::%i & TXXX;FMPS_Rating;%v | percent( TXXX;gmbrating;%v ) | five( TXXX;rating;%v )',
vorbis => 'FMPS_RATING_USER::%i & FMPS_RATING | percent( gmbrating ) | five( rating )',
ape => 'FMPS_RATING_USER::%i & FMPS_RATING | percent( gmbrating ) | five( rating )',
ilst => '----FMPS_Rating_User::%i & ----FMPS_Rating | percent( ----gmbrating ) | five( ----rating )',
postread=> \&FMPS_rating_postread,
prewrite=> \&FMPS_rating_prewrite,
'postread:five'=> sub { my $v=shift; length $v && $v=~m/^\d+$/ && $v<=5 ? sprintf('%d',$v*20) : undef }, # for reading foobar2000 rating 0..5 ?
...From what I remember (it's been a while):
- vorbis, ape, ilst and id3v2 define what tag is used for the different tag types
- they support multiple tags, separated by "&" or "|". For reading it stops at the first it finds, for writing it writes all those separated with "&"
- there can be a postread and prewrite function to convert the value, postread is the default function, postread:five is the function for a tag inside "five(...)". For rating gmb use a value between 0 and 100 or undef for unset
- %i is the optional id for the user, as the fmps standard support multiple users
- %v is to indicate where to place the value in id3v2 tags with multiple sub-fields
So in that case all that should be needed to add writing for 0..5 ratings is to add a prewrite:five function and replace the "|" with "&" (and move, remove or do the same for gmbrating as it's placed before). I guess I didn't do it because I don't know the official definition of this standard and "rating" is such a plain tag that it could be used by other "standards" with a very different idea of what 5 means, so I left it read-only.
playcount should be easy, just add a PLAY_COUNTER lastplay needs to add options to read-write
One thing I'm not sure is how exactly foobar2000 saves its custom tags in the various tag formats, I'm not 100% sure mine will match, so you should test with all 4 types if possible.
So if you are interested I can give you a few more explanations. It will result in a few lines to change to get what you want, but I don't know if I will commit them, if I don't you'd have to keep changing those lines every time you update.

I'm running foobar2000 v0.9.5b7 (in wine), recently it's crashing when I add more music to it's library and it seems that there's nothing I can do.
There are few requirements I have though. It's quite ridiculous, but I like to have the tags on my files as I have the same library for few decades now!
The website says that:
Other fields (labels, skip count, ...) can not currently be saved in tags, though it is easy to add, it is mainly a problem of finding standard tags for that.I have a very solid standard for my tags. How would I enable saving %LAST_PLAYED%, %PLAY_COUNTER%, %RATING% -tags to a file?Then I have a quick tag, so Shift+[1-5] will tag rating. It's really good system, I've been using that for.. (I'm old!)
Is this possible (ofcourse it is), but with reasonably simple changes? I tried making my own audioplayer with python last spring, but the GUI was way too heavy for my liking :P.
