I'm moving from Windows 7 to Ubuntu, and so far the experience has been a really good one :)

However, there is something that I've used to do with Windows 7 that I can't find how to do in Ubuntu:

From my Windows music manager programs (either MediaMonkey or Windows Media Player) I could set song ratings in a way that the ratings set from either program could be also read from the other one. Additionally, song ratings were visible and updated in my iPod Touch when I synch'ed my music (either manually or using iTunes). To sum up, it seems that MediaMonkey, WMP, and the iPod device use standard mp3 metadata tag for ratings.

Now, using Ubuntu 12.04, and now with an Android device:

  1. Rhythmbox can't see the song rates, despite those ratings can be seen by MediaMonkey and MS Music Player when I boot with Win7. Is this an issue I can fix with some setting? Is there any program I can use to accomplish this?
  2. What do you recommend to sync my music with Android (4.0, Galaxy s2), also keeping the song ratings information updated between Android and my PC?

Thanks!!
