Comment (by humdinger):

 Hmm... wouldn't it make more sense to use floating point instead of
 integer then?

 MediaPlayer seems to be the only app currently that offers to set a rating
 (between 1 and 10). Having only 5 stars to represent this number is
 awkward. Having more than 5 stars is bad too, because it takes some effort
 to count them all... :)

 I guess the goal is to offer a nicer graphical input of the rating, like
 dragging the mouse over highlighting (half)stars, see e.g.
 [http://imdb.com IMdB.com]. This should be available in Tracker as well,
 of course. Still, having floats from 1 to 5 with 0.5 steps seems to be
 more intuitive to me.
