Auto-rating was removed from rhythmbox in version 0.9.1 because we
didn't have a stable rating adjustment algorithm (amongst other
complaints).  If you're trying to figure it out by looking at CVS HEAD,
you can't find the code because it's just not there.  Prior to that, it
was in a function called rb_shell_player_auto_adjust_rating() in
shell/rb-shell-player.c.
