Hi,

How about the Popularimeter frame? In the ID3v2.3 spec, see the section 
"4.18. Popularimeter":

The purpose of this frame is to specify how good an audio file is. Many 
interesting applications could be found to this frame such as a playlist 
that features better audiofiles more often than others or it could be used 
to profile a person's taste and find other 'good' files by comparing 
people's profiles. The frame is very simple. It contains the email address 
to the user, one rating byte and a four byte play counter, intended to be 
increased with one for every time the file is played. The email is a 
terminated string. The rating is 1-255 where 1 is worst and 255 is best. 0 
is unknown. If no personal counter is wanted it may be omitted. When the 
counter reaches all one's, one byte is inserted in front of the counter thus 
making the counter eight bits bigger in the same away as the play counter 
("PCNT"). There may be more than one "POPM" frame in each tag, but only one 
with the same email address.


Mike.
