Did you store the ratings in your files (using the powertoy), or only in
the library? They should have been migrated over.

I am using WMP10 and the migration tool will not import the star ratings
that I did on all my music (MP3) files when I had version 9!!

Boo HOO.....There is about 8,000 of them!
