Automating Tag updates and Ratings

There is an app called Tasker which allows you to automate android processes.

Music Playlist Manager (v226 and above) has functionality to automatically:

  • Update the mp3 POPM tag of a track with the rating found in Poweramp
  • Update the Poweramp database with the rating value found on an mp3 POPM tag of a track
  • Backup your Poweramp ratings

Using Tasker and intents, you can create a schedule that automatically does some or all of the above. .

The intents are:

com.flyingdutchman.newplaylistmanager.servicepopm2pa

com.flyingdutchman.newplaylistmanager.servicepa2popm

com.flyingdutchman.newplaylistmanager.serviceexportratings

Category: Launcher

Target: Service

Steps

Step 1 Step 2

Step 3 Step 4

For example, to automate the updating of the POPM tag with the Poweramp ratings:

Once all actions have been set up, create a profile that executes the action(s) depending on a certain condition such as time and/or day.
