Thats handy.. thanks. If I start doing any more major chunks on it maybe
I'll have to bug you for CVS commit writes just to avoid the vaugeries of
anon-CVS :-)
If anyone does hack on it feel free to reduce the verbiage, its mainly
there as I was working out how to use libxml, its certainly makes a lot of
noise at the moment.

Another hash I noticed being talked about (although not much yet) is the
audiosha1 which is an SHA1 hash of MP3's/Oggs minus their meta-data tags.
This is helpful for indentifying music that is the same but been re-tagged
or had its tags fixed.

OK, my only worry is how much memory that uses up over time. It will
probably be worth implementing some sort of caching scheme to avoid
a) excessive requeries
b) expiration of data based on ticket expiries

I've been thinking about this. It depends if people "launch" their media
from GTKG when downloaded and even if its a good idea to do so. I can see
a nice little GTK-Perl script for Nautilus probably being an easier/safer
way to do it.
However sumbitting complete meta-data would probably help, but again do
you want parsers for all media types in GTKG? Could a sub-system like
Gnome-VFS help? Do we want more external dependancies?
Right, I must really go and get some money for my holiday so people can
mull over these things whilst I'm away...
