# Feature description:

Add new tag which has the information what the scale is.  
Example:  
Rating\_lower\_value: x  
Rating\_upper\_value: y  
or only the upper value with the assumption that all lowest values are 0.

### Problem solved:

> [@Rating information are not read from opus files](http://support.symfonium.app/t/rating-information-are-not-read-from-opus-files/6647/5):
>
> This is common error with those not properly defined tags frowning I’ll see to add support for the 0…5 range too, but this will trigger wrong values for those using the 0…10 range. From current reports 0…5 seems more common than 0…10 so let’s see how it goes with that choice.

There are different scales for rating and if there is a custom tag for normalizing it doesn’t matter as much. It could introduce inaccurate values by a scale 0-10 al values will be 10,20,… no in between.  
Example:  
Scale 0-10 rating: 5 Normalized: 50  
Scale 0-100 rating: 54 Normalized: 54

### Brought benefits:

It doesn’t matter what the scale is and the user can self tag what the scale is.

There’s no reasons to add a custom tag that would only be used in this app for this.

If they can retag their files to indicate the scale they can fix the ratings to work wit h all apps at the same time.

Much more logical and efficient for everyone.
