Description

### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Will this be added for people who have music, video and images on their drives? If not then Files is a non-starter for us. I'd pay for this option as it no longer works in File Explorer.

### Requirements

- This proposal will accomplish rating media and other files within Files app

### Files Version

4.1

### Windows Version

11

Research direction

The issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by surveying the Files app's existing file-property and media-metadata handling, then determine how ratings should be stored and exposed for media and other files. Done should include a defined rating workflow supported within Files, but the acceptance criteria need clarification before implementation.
