Ratings and tags management

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be very handy to be able to obtain a listing with (only) your favorite 
songs. Those listings could be saved as playlists, and used to feed an external 
DLNA server. If you have your entire music library stored in a central position 
(e.g.: a NAS), and shared with multiple devices (e.g.: DLNA clients) you can 
listen to the specific playlist "my favorite songs".

This idea could be extended with tags. The use case could be "take my favorite 
songs, tagged with the FITNESS tag, and copy them to my phone/portable player", 
or "create a playlist with my favorite songs tagged with the CHRISTMAS tag".

Rating every song takes a lot of time, so the rating should be independent of 
the file location (a good way could be using the musicbrainz_id). This way even 
if a music file is moved, beets could re-import it and use the correct rating.

A 5-star rating scale should be enough.

Thanks! Should be an interesting feature to work on.

As someone who uses a half-star rating scheme, I'd like to add that a 0-100 
scale would be more flexible if this feature is implemented.

@rocknme2349: Good idea, but can you please comment on the GitHub issue? This 
bug tracker is no longer being used.
