 MythMusic seems to save rating and playcount (possibly other?) info to DB
 e.g. when plugin is exited and not every time these values change.

 Now that MythMusic player re-builds the song tree/info if you update song
 metadata, if you have entered rating to a song or song playcount has
 increased, these values are not updated to DB. To reproduce: change rating
 of a currently playing song -> edit meetadata of another song -> save to
 file and DB -> go back to currently playing song and open metadata editor
 -> rating has not been changed (although the player currently shows the
 updated value).

 I guess meta-data saving should update all pending values to DB before re-
 buiding the music tree.  Haven't looked at the code but this is what it
 looks like.

 There's another use case that fails currently that could be addressed
 if/when above problem is fixed: I use "not rated" smart playlist to listen
 songs and give ratings. Now if you want to "clear" the current playlist
 from the entries that you already have rated, you cannot just re-open the
 "not rated" smart playlist because the rating values have not been saved
 to DB. Instead you have to exit the player and start again. IMHO this
 should be fixed e.g. so that pending updates are written to DB when menu
 is opened or at least when new playlist is opened.
