The rating system allows users to rate MusicBrainz entities (artists, labels, release groups, recordings, events, works).
Rating is a new feature which is currently being develloped (Oct 2008), and which should be integrated in the 2008 server release.

Users will be able to rates [[MusicBrainz]] entities (artists, labels, releases and tracks) like on last.fm.

Each user will be a number between 0 and 5. Then the system will aggregate users ratings to compute the average rating.
User may assign a value between 1 and 5 to various entities as a rating, these values are then aggregated by the server to compute an average community rating for that same entity.


The community rating is shown by default for each entity, however, once a user submits their own rating that value will be shown instead.
Only the aggregate rating will be display with stars. Individual rating will be only shown when viewing the affected entity in order to save server load.
