MusicBrainz also has the ability to store per-user per-track ratings (out of 5 stars) and tags (which can be completely arbitrary). These two features correspond almost perfectly with Mixxx's track ratings and crates. It would be *great* to have a way to synchronise Mixxx's ratings with MusicBrainz. This would be particularly useful in 3 ways:
1. As a back-up if the local Mixxx database is corrupted.
2. It would help build MusicBrainz's database, which would eventually help to provide a good quality folksonomy of less definite metadata, like genre and mood information.
3. It would provide a way to synchronise ratings and tags between software and devices (which will be especially great if Mixxx for android ever happens!).
