What is the point of star ratings in W's Media Player 9?

When I first upgraded to series nine of Widows Media Player and saw the option to give each song a star rating, I thought wow what a great idea, this will undoubtedly bias the player to play certain songs more often then others when in shuffle mode (especially when the text attributed with one star is 'don't play again'). This would appear to be the only point of star ratings. However, when looking at my play counts, it seemed to make next to no difference what the star rating is. Is this just my player, or is there actually no point in ratings at all? The rating system seemed to me the only reason to choose WMD over Winamp- should I reinstall winamp?

Thanks
