Convert iTunes to Rhythmbox 2016

A recent comment on a rather old post made me realize that I had not updated this thread.

The biggest news - iTunes seriously screws up the way they store attributes about songs now.  From what I can gather, if you chose to give Adele - Rolling in the Deep 4-stars... it, for whatever stupid reason, will then give the entire album an "album rating" of 4 stars.  Which means that the perl script and python script I had found to convert my playlist would have ALL the Adele songs in that album in my favorites in Rhythmbox.

There is, however, a work-around Doug Scripts

I cannot seem to find the exact AppleScript of his that I used to remove the Album Rating from all my albums.

First thing though... open iTunes and run DougScripts Album Rating script.
