I havent actually used any later LMS than LMS 7.8 so I should probably not answer this, but to my knowledge LMS has built-in support to internally store ratings and to notify third party interfaces (Material skin, iPeng and similar) the rating of currently playing track. I think LMS standard is able to show rating to users but I dont think it makes it possible for a user to set ratings without a third party plugin/app for this. A long time ago the following commit was made for pluggable rating implementations but I dont remember if its actually used by anyone: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commit/1752f56057ecb26a4a45fe87a7226cc4bc0b172c I think the idea was to make it possible for multiple plugins to provide rating functionality and let the user choose which one to use. The ratingCommand function in Commands.pm sounds like a way to set/get rating but I suspect no third party client/skin actually is using that, probably because I never got around to implement the call to registerRatingImplementation function in TrackStat.
