Orzeszek Ratings is a utility to sync ratings and play counts between Windows Media Player and iTunes.

If you use both Windows Media Player and iTunes to manage your music collection on one computer, Orzeszek Ratings allows you to sync the ratings and play counts between the two applications.

Orzeszek Ratings will only sync the ratings and play counts between files that are in both your Windows Media Player library and your iTunes library.

That means that ratings and play count for any files that are converted when added to your library (like WMA files added to iTunes) won’t be synced since your Windows Media Player library and iTunes library are no longer referring to the same file.

And, since Windows Media Player has no support for half-star ratings, half-star ratings are rounded up to the nearest full star when you sync ratings from iTunes to Windows Media Player.

Orzeszek Ratings is free and portable. It addresses a very common problem of Windows users who use Media Player and are also forced to use iTunes.
