Are you using a Touch/Radio/Controller or a Boom/Classic/Transporter ?

I'm afraid the browse menu setup doesn't work anymore due to the
following bug in the Logitech code:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17732
(You can vote on it if you want it to be corrected)

The setup in the wiki for the Now Playing screen, describes how to do
it on a Boom/Classic/Transporter. On a Touch/Radio/Controller I think
you need to install the third party Custom Clock applet to be able to
display ratings directly on the Now Playing screen and then you can to
change the configuration in the Custom Clock screen so it replaces the
standard Now Playing screen. Please note that this works on a
Controller and Radio, on a Touch it works as long as you don't control
it using the touch screen. If you have a Touch and control it via a
Touch screen, I would advice you to skip this step and accept that the
ratings aren't shown directly on the Now Playing screen. However, you
can still configure Custom Clock as a playing screen saver on a Touch,
that way it will be displayed while something is playing but will
disappear when you touch the touch screen.

Unfortunately, even with Custom Clock, I don't think there is a
pre-defined style that shows rating information, so you probably need
to configure one yourself with Custom Clock Helper plugin in Squeezebox
Server.

To sum it up, if you have a Touch/Radio/Controller, I think I would
skip the chapter regarding "Now Playing" screen for now and focus on
the rest of the tutorial that makes sure you can transfer the rating
information from iTunes.

You can always access the rating information by holding the touch
screen on a track for a while or hitting the +(more) button on a
Radio/Controller, which opens a context menu which have a "Rating" sub
menu.

As a side note, if you want rating support in Squeezebox Server, don't
forget to vote on the following enhancement request:
