Using iTunes as a source library for Aurender Music servers

Don't know if this is worthy of new thread, but here goes;

I have been using a computer as my principal digital music source since I discovered Apple's lossless compression in 2006.  My iTunes library has all of my 3200 ripped CDs and about 300 downloaded albums which together comprise a total of 45,000 tracks.  3,500 of these tracks are above red-book CD resolution.

I have a new Aurender N10.  I love it.  It sounds better and is easier to use than my Mac Pro (3,1) running Amarra 3.0.3.  

I continue to use iTunes to create and curate the music library on the N10's hard drive.   Since the computer and the N10 are connected by a wired ethernet, I can use Carbon Copy Cloner to maintain a mirror image of the iTunes music file hierarchy on the N10.  A update of a few new albums will complete in as little as half an hour.  

I am good at managing my library on iTunes--I have been doing it for more than 10 years.  The album artwork and liner notes are in good (pretty good) order.  Track names, album names, comments, groupings, artists, composers, genre, ratings, are all maintained carefully and consistently.  The workflow of mirroring additions and edits of my iTunes library on the N10 is quite efficient now.  I would be glad to share anything that might be helpful to other Aurender owners using this same architecture.

So here is my first question for the community:

Has anyone had success embedding the iTunes track ratings in the track files and then getting the Aurender (conductor) app to display them correctly?  The ratings are among the most valuable ways I remember the albums I really like.  (I see that Doug-scripts has a way of finding the ratings which iTunes maintains in its proprietary database and embedding them into each track's music file.)
