I don't know that this will work in reverse with the Zune, since the hardware only lets you rate from 1-3 (effectively).

Based on the goal of making the Zune a closed circuit platform, I would look for the latter before the former.

Notwithstanding the general dissatisfaction with the Zune software, the MS team seems responsive to feedback. Plus, there seems to be a definite pattern to the process. With Version 1, they got it about 75% right with the hardware, but did nothing with the software. Version 2 got the hardware about 90% right, and the software is about 50% of the way there. I would hope that Version 3 (or an interim release) of the software will up that percentage considerably.
