That is exactly what Custom Scan does.  Metadata is effectively just a
fancy name for fields stored in a file, in this case a music track file,
describing its contents.  

What does mp3tag say the name of the rating field is?  "Rating"? 
Whatever it is called , with Custom Scan you configure it (Settings,
Advanced, Custom Scan, Module Settings Ratings Tag) and tick 'write
ratings to Squeezebox server'. See the wiki link I provided earlier.
Good luck!
