We can't complain, but now is a good time to provide feedback while they can still address it.
you can complain another part of the point of the beta is for that reason, bugs and i would say something like this counts.
I've seen in another thread a member say the rating of songs is still there though....are you sure about this to the OP?
If it's like iOS4 you have to click the album art and while it's in full screen double-tap and on the other side is where you rate the song

Reporting bugs and providing constructive feedback =/= complaining. But that's just semantics. Regardless, a beta is a good time to voice concern.

Rating of songs is still there on the iPhone, but not the iPad. On my iPad, if I click on the album artwork, it brings the album artwork full screen. Taping on it again shows the transport controls and slider bar at the top. I'm pretty sure I tapped on everything I could think of... The stars are nowhere to be found!
EDIT:
I just submitted a bug report in Apple's Bug Reporter. We'll see what happens...

No issue with audio. I did have a weird display issue in the Music app where I none of the lists were populated. Just a big white screen with the borders around. Restarting the iPad fixed it.
I do have a lot of issues with third party and native apps though...
The Weather Channel - Crashes on startup
2Do - OK on iPad, crashes on startup on iPhone
Evernote - Notes don't populate
Videos - TV Episodes are not sorted properly
Calendar - Text is truncated all over the place
And I hope they give us the option to get rid of the newstand icon...
Right on thanks for confirming, everybody go on and report this.
Also ask for a better rating system where we don't have to go into full screen album cover and flip to rate - suggest the stars for rating are in plain view.
Interesting... Apple still doesn't allow third party apps to change ratings, but I've added a way to rate songs via my app, My Hit Radio. (http://bit.ly/My-Hit-Radio-Free)
For now, you have to manually 'sync' the ratings by going down the list but it's better than nothing. Hopefully soon I can add the export option with a Mac/PC app to sync up all the changes... that is unless Apple gives access to the the ratings by third party apps.

Double-tap works for me
Hope you guys don't mind me resurrecting a dead thread. Since nobody else confirmed or denied the double-tap feature, I just wanted to chime in and say to bob that the double-tap works for me in iOS 5 beta 6. And also thank you--not being able to find this feature was driving me crazy

You can also single-tap the button on the bottom right by the way to switch to the stars view.
I am however completely missing the "2x Playback" Button on the iPad!
Has someone found that in iOS 5 ? According to this thread, it was there in iOS 4.
