Created attachment 140739 [details] Screenshot of elisa wth 0 rating All my music files (mp3, ogg and flac) have ratings recorded in their TAGS. Elisa does not show them. For a comparison the clementine music player does display these values. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Examine a music file with an embedded rating OBSERVED RESULT The rating is always shown as zero stars EXPECTED RESULT The rating should match the value in the file SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Can reproduce the issue.
To elaborate, I can reproduce this by rating a song with 5 stars in kid3. Thereafter, both baloo and kfilemetadata notice it: $ ~/kde/build/kfilemetadata/bin/dump '/home/nate/Music/algir/Menoim Kadima/01. Haadama Tipatach.m4a' | grep -i rating 17: Rating: 10 (int) $ balooshow '/home/nate/Music/algir/Menoim Kadima/01. Haadama Tipatach.m4a' | grep -i rating 19: Rating: 10 However it does not show up as rated with 5 stars in Elisa, or--interestingly enough--Dolphin's information Panel sidebar as well. So it seems like both suffer from the same or a similar deficiency.
Note that different file formats (mp3, ogg, m4a, wma, …) all use different tags for storing rating information *and* different numeric rating scales (e.g., 0–100 or 0–255) *and* different number-to-stars cut-offs. To properly handle this, take a look at how it’s implemented in Kid3 (the ‘Settings → Tags → All Tags → Rating’ table and the ‘ratingstars’ pseudo tag in the development version).
