As I read a few from https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=itunes+get+rid+empty+stars I can't see anything I can add here.

I have a few dozen mp3 files that, when imported to iTunes, show 4 empty stars in the iTunes ratings field.
No matter what I do to the mp3 ratings tag (deleting the info) or to the rating of the file in iTunes, these empty stars will not go away. The problem is that, eventhough they are empty stars when I delete the ratings, iTunes still recognizes these files as having a 4-star rating. I want them to be None.
The vast majority of my imported files never show anything for the ratings and I am quote used to adding my own ratings or none at all.
Does anyone know how to make these empty stars go away?
