I think this would be better implemented as an ability to change the
library view to display songs with rating >= X, 

For instance, if I wanted to listen to all my favorite songs, or make an
off-the-cuff, personalized  "Best of Metallica" list, where it only displays songs by
Metallica which I have rated 4 or above.
