Cirrus (the current mpd developer) started implementing “stickers”. These are tags you can add to a song in (mpd’s) database.
Today I wrote a quick ‘n dirty proof of concept Rating support in gmpc.
You can view and modify rating of a song.

It looks good. But I think it would be better to make possible to rate songs directly from the playlist (play queue).
Yeah I can add that. File a bug.
This looks really nice, but it doesn’t work for me with mpd and GMPC from GIT (built on Saturday). There isn’t such a rating field in my GMPC under the Metadata Browser or any other possibility to rate a song. I know that this is a experimental feature, but it would be nice to test it on my machine.
did you enable sticker db in mpd?
Well, I’ve configured mpd from GIT with “–enable-sqlite” and built a new db with “mpd –create-db”. Is that not the right way?
you need to set sticker_file “/mpd.sticker” in mpd.conf
Thanks. That solved my problem. Did not know that.
” you need to set sticker_file “/mpd.sticker” in mpd.conf ”
Doesn’t find the line in the config file. Can anybody give me a example line for the sticker config.
Thanks
