I just tried to upgrade on my 7.4 nightly on my development machine and
the result is:

1. If you have a TrackStat backup your are always safe, it will be
possible to restore when TrackStat has been updated so it works with the
new SQLite database.

2. The old MySQL database isn't deleted, so if you make sure to save
the Cache/MySQL directory in a safe place or if you use a standalone
MySQL instance there is always a way to get the ratings back. It will
probably include downgrading SqueezeCenter back to a version before the
database backend changes but at least it should be possible.

3. In my upgrade, the rating and statistics information was not
transfered to the new SQLite database. The result is that all ratings
and statistics was lost in SqueezeCenter, this includes both the
ratings/statistics stored in standard SqueezeCenter tables as well as
ratings/statistics stored in TrackStat tables.

4. If you use a standalone MySQL instance, this will still contain the
ratings and you should be able to use it again as soon as the latest 7.4
nightly has been made compatible with MySQL again.

I suspect there might be bug corrections in 7.3.x to make this work
better, but if you have already upgraded and don't have a TrackStat
backup and don't use a standalone MySQL instance I'm guessing that you
will have to downgrade to get the ratings back. Of course I'm just
guessing, Logitech might have other plans.

Anyway, having a TrackStat backup is the safe path that will always
work.
