We'll need something to sync IMMS ratings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When/if we get IMMS ported to other systems and used by people across devices, 
we'll probably need some system for syncing song ratings etc. between 
databases. For example, if we can port IMMS to RockBox people may need to sync 
ratings between their Rockbox device (that they generate while on the go) and 
their home computer. Likewise if people have a home and work computer, they may 
want to sync ratings between them. We may need different ways of doing this 
based on the platforms involved - e.g. file transfer/database update and merge; 
hosted online syncing service; etc.

This is less critical right now as I'm not sure how many people use IMMS across 
multiple devices, but something to think about for the future.

Something I ran into when dualbooting between Windows and Linux - I wrote a 
ruby script to transfer file ratings. Also came up in private discussion of 
IMMS on the N900.

This seems functionality like at least two feature requests: 1. make a tool 
that can merge/update two IMMS databases, and 2. find some way to keep them in 
sync that doesn't involve a lot work from the user. Creating another ticket for 
the second item.
