I would rather not go outside MusicBrainz to get the functionality I 
want. I'd be interested in ratings, but I don't use RateYourMusic. If it 
could be set up so that one might be required to register at RYM for 
ratings at MB to work, that would be okay (i.e. rate my music at 
MusicBrainz but it updates some RYM database). Even a ratings import 
(RYM > MB) would be cool for those folks that actually use 
RateYourMusic. I just don't want to have to go outside of MusicBrainz to 
get this functionality. It should be as seamless as possible.
