Summary	0013523: iOS 10: Star rating no longer available via the iPhone's Music app (treat the 'Loved' mark?)
Description	It seems that starting from iOS10 it is no longer possible to star rate a track on the iPhone. Tapping the artwork to show stars no longer work. But actually it is still possible to star rate a song using Siri. Users on the forum are asking whether it is possible to treat the 'Loved' mark. e.g. bind it to 'Bomb' or '5 star' rating For 4.1.14 we should ensure that the "Loved" mark does not cause a star rating lost in MMW library! The binding to be reviewed for 4.1.15

It is even treated as different column in iTunes (see attached screenshot). So probably we shouldn't mix these values together too. Because actually it is still possible star rate a song using Siri. Waiting whether Apple isn't going to add back the ability to rate a song in iPhone: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7664472?start=0&tstart=0
