   hmmm might wanna tryhttp://www.brothersoft.com/itunes-backup…
   but never used it so can’t say it will save the ratings.
   BUT This way will probably have a better chance of working:
   - Getting Mediamonkey & learn it lil bit
   … Mediamonkey has alot of great scripts that can be found on its forum
   Go to this topic: Export to iTunes
   (yea this isnt at first what you want but the topic gets to it)http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtop…
   But than as you read on on page 10:http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtop…
   from the creator of this script:
   “For clarification the initial design of the script was to export from MM into iTunes – mainly to sync the tracks to my iPhone (while the MM functionality was broken). I was later encouraged to expand the script to recover rating and playcounts back to MM and then further make it bidirectional.”
   …. Just remember Itunes saves ratings in its database BUT mediamonkey saves it in the file itself… Mediamonkey is far superior than itunes
