I don't like storing track ratings in the metadata because as I understand it there's no accepted standard, if at some point I switch to another application it may not recognise my ratings from Strawberry and I'll be left with a lot of metadata which is effectively junk.

What I'd like is an option to export selected metadata (and ratings) to an external text file, or possibly a spreadsheet. I would need to be able to select which metadata to include (eg Album/Artist/Title + Rating), and to exclude any unrated tracks.

Recently, for no apparent reason, Strawberry has started to add unwanted columns in playlist view. Specifically, it started showing "Loudness Range" even after I'd opted to hide it. When I right click on the column header and select "Hide Loudness Range", as expected the column is hidden. But as soon as I move to another playlist it comes back, for all playlists including the one which was showing when I opted to hide the column.

Today it has started adding in a few other columns occasionally as well, though they aren't as persistent, "CUE" and "Integrated Loudness".
