Curious, I noticed this in the MPEG Audio Decoder settings, what is this used for?

It's part of the id3 spec for POPM ratings frames.

By default, winamp will write rating@winamp.com or something like that but u can change the string to whatever u want. I put my email so I know I rated the file, and to workaround mp3tags handling of POPM frames by popular apps like winamp.

No app supports it afaik, but the idea is multiple POPM frames or values could allow different users to rate the same file.
