I recently restored my WMV files from a backup and was disappointed to find out that all my star ratings had been lost. I now see that there is an option for storing star ratings directly inside the WMV files (as opposed to wherever it is that WMP10 puts them otherwise). Putting this info in the WMV files seems the obvious preferred mechanism, so I'm guessing there are some drawbacks or disadvantages to doing so, like maybe the files get much bigger, etc. So before I make this change, I was hoping that someone might be able to give me some info or tips to think about before I blindly make the change. Here are some questions: 1. What are the drawback/disadvantages to having WMP10 put the star ratings inside the WMP files? 2. If I make setting change in WMP10, will it go through and apply this change to my existing tracks for the ones I've already rated, or will it only make this change on a go-forward basis? 3. If I elect not to store the star ratings in the WMV files, is there a way to restore this info if I have to restore from a backup again at sometime in the future? Since I have thousands of tracks, I want to be careful not to do something that I can't later undo or that causes me any avoidable headaches. So I appreciate any feedback anyone can offer me. Thank you, Joey
