Apply iTunes Song Ratings

Version 1.0

This script takes as input a Music.txt file created with iTunes' File > Export command. It then applies the song ratings found in this file to the same songs in the current iTunes library. The song name, artist, and album must match; otherwise, the rating will not be affected. If they do match, the current rating will be replaced.
