That's actually a clever idea.  But then, what happens if you're away 
from your computer and it's left playing?  I'd think you'd end up 
skewing the results.  Oh well it's still interesting.  And I don't know 
of anything in rhythmbox that works that way.  You can use a gnome 
applet however so you easily rate stuff while keeping your player in the 
background.  I think it's just called "Music Applet" or something.
