Summary0021880: Rating albums isn't immediate, and unexpectedly deletes track ratings
DescriptionWhile testing 0019994, I noticed that:
1) As Petr indicated at 0019994:0071740, when the user changes the rating for an album, the album rating doesn't change. The user must click the artwork or refresh the view for the change to display. This is unexpected--the change should be reflected right away.

2) Changing the rating of an album causes all of the tracks on that album to be changed to the new rating. This is also unexpected. I might have expected that an album rating would be applied, but not that all of the tracks would be edited.

Re. 2) What I'm referring to is that when you right-click on an album (e.g. in Music > Albums [Grid]) and choose My Rating, it could be surprising to the user if all of the tracks are edited with the new rating. i.e. when multi-selecting tracks and editing in Properties (or via the Preview window) it's obvious that multiple tracks are going to be edited.

But in the Album view, the user might think that the Album rating is going to be edited rather than individual track ratings. A simple solution would be to notify the user as in the Album Art dialeg. e.g.

Apply to all files in the Album/Series ? (this is an existing string)
