Here's my dilemma. I have some 40GB of MP3s on my B&W tower. For portability's sake, I only copied about 3GB to my Powerbook. I've also added about 2GB of new music to the Powerbook that is not on the tower. Over the last few months I've rated almost all of the music on the Powerbook, most of which was never rated on the tower. I want to start copying the new music to the tower soon, and I also want to copy all the ratings back onto the tower, overwriting whatever was there before. I'm not sure how to go about it. I looked in Doug's AppleScripts, but didn't see anything that addressed this. I can see the ratings when I export the song list to Unicode text then open the file in Excel. Has anyone done this? Any ideas? -- Someday, when the historians study how someone as accomplished as Al Gore was effectively marginalized by a party without a conscience and kept press, they're going to be amazed that any of us had opposable thumbs. - Charles Pierce
