There are other ways of doing this, but rating has a characteristic
that comments don't have - they are visible and changeable from the
iPod.

The iPod changeability is an interesting feature ... though I must admit
I've never taken advantage of it.

It's particularly handy when one has a long period of time to use and
manipulate the iPod. (i.e. long flight, trip, etc)

I have rated MOST of my music. Still, I have a Smart Playlist that reveals
ONLY those songs with NO rating. When I have the time, I'll listen to that
playlist and, using the iPod, RATE the songs.

The next time I sync the iPod, the new ratings are passed along to iTunes.
