Could we not (talking from a visual side here) give some indication to the 
user that the track is unrated other than having no stars. The first idea that 
comes to mind is simply writing 'Unrated' across the stars (see the attached 
screenshot) This would remove any ambiguity and allow people to rate a track 0 
stars.

Also, just to give a scenario when 0 stars would be useful. I, more often than 
not, get music by the album, and I hate having incomplete albums in my 
collection (no idea why, just really annoys me =P). So every once in a while I 
get an awesome album with a track I absolutely hate. I dont want to remove it 
from my collection because its part of the album, but I would rate it 0, 
rather than 1 which suggests I actually like something about it =P.
