Thanks for the information Daniel. This worked like a charm. Though I think being a Linux Engineer by trade helped with enabling this flawlessly the first time. Definitely not for the faint hearted since plist's are binary files and cant be edited with a text editor.
Sure it's not pretty, but it gives me some sort of idea on how I rated that song in iTunes. I look forward to seeing further development of this UI and hopefully a pretty representation of the rating (possibly on it's own line?). Thanks to all the developers and their hard work on Growl and Growl add-ons!
