I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is going on this, but will ask anyway.
After adding a new album(s) to my music library, I tend to manually update individual songs I particularly like with a rating and user rating score using metadata editor addon. This is actually a fairly quick process to do just after adding an album to the library and I really like seeing my own ratings in the library views and on the OSD when music is playing.
I had just assumed these ratings were written to both the music DB file and the album NFO file when exporting the library, but this does not seem to be the case after removing, then re-scanning my library today since none of my ratings are now showing.
Was just wanting confirmation of this and if there is really any merit to manually adding song ratings this way, if they do not actually get written anywhere so that they can be picked up when scanning your library into Kodi from scratch using local NFO data.
Cheers
