I don't know that we'll want to totally throw away the current album system and ratings, as I suspect that there are a number of people who prefer to rate an album, rather than giving individual ratings to every single track. It might be better to keep two seperate ratings, one rated by album, and one rated by track.
By the same token, we will probably want to allow users to rate artists, which would create two (or three) seperate artist scores -- one from artist ratings, one from album ratings, and one from track ratings.
Of course, there might also be an acceptable way to combine all the averages into a single number at each level.
