OK you're right, theoretically every music player could read that. But
this is the Baloo specification to store it there.
The Freedesktop specification, using the tags that fit the media type is
here: [0]

I think using the Taglib Extractor, this rating could be read by Baloo
and set as the rating property.

Integration into activities could make sense for a player, although we
actually wanted to keep the feature set low and now so many ideas come
up ...

P.S.: Also look at the discussion in the forum, gonna try to post stuff
that is more meta (non-technical) there to (hopefully) reach more people
