[iTunes] Re: Synchronizing Track Ratings

[Chris Reinhart]

What I do is use multiple playlists and sync those playlists.
This allows you to transfer ratings and play date data between your pod 
and music library.
Here's my setup.

1 playlist called Pod List - smart playlist, which only includes stuff 
not played in the last 6 months
1 playlist called Swap List - Dumb list which I use to swap song/albums 
that i know i want on the pod.

Now you could base lists on the ratings you have been setting.
