Is there an easy way to migrate my Plex music library (including the star ratings) to a Jellyfin music library?
I have well over 10 000 tracks that have been meticulously curated and rated (for better playlist management) and from what I understand, those ratings are nowhere to be found in the actual file metadata.
Is there a way to port over these ratings to Jellyfin?
I simply cannot imagine starting from scratch all over again
Oof… I’ve had a quick google search. But I am afraid, there is no “easy” to write that stuff to the actual metadata of the file.
If I recall correctly, Plex stores all it’s data in a local SQLite database. So theoretically, you could query that database and then use some other tools to write those ratings to the database. So if you can code, you could probably whip something up in your preferred coding language and write that to the files.
Here is a script written for subsonic (navidrome) that a helpful redditor pointed me to a while back. Maybe Navidrome could be an alternative to jellyfin if ratings are important? I have not tested this myself as I have not put any effort into moving away from Plex as I had planned.

I ported the ratings over with a quick C# script I wrote. It takes in the XML that Plex returns when querying your favorites and then favorites them in Jellyfin if it can find them by name.
If there’s any interest in this script just let me know. I wrote this a long time ago when I switched to Jellyfin so no idea if it still works.
