Apple could look at the broader scope of your ratings for many songs and find the songs enjoyed by people who tend to rate many of the songs highly that you rate highly. It could even give each match a "relevance" score which is basically a correlation value between your ratings database and other similar users' ratings databases. Heck, tie this in with a "personals" system and you can find a date with someone who shares your taste in music ;] With even a moderate level of effort Apple could do more than simply let a user “know what other songs are enjoyed by people who rate that song highly”.

I didn't know that. I still don't have an iPod yet (Omaha is a car town, so not much use), but I was thinking of getting one to, like you, store all of my MP3s on an iPod. I'm sick of having disparate music collections at work and home. You can’t use Party Shuffle when your iPod is hooked up? I didn’t know that.

I would also like the ability to access an iPod plugged into one computer through the iTunes Shared Music feature on another computer, althoug this can already be accomplished with the program Music Publisher (sorry no link).
