No problem at all.  So, TrackListDatabaseModel is really tied to
CoreCache, the filtered/sorted temporary view of the songs in whatever
Source its tied to (Library, a playlist, etc).  Since you should be
able to bookmark anything (eg especially podcasts), which are in
various PrimarySources (or will be soon),  I think the best way to get
the TrackInfo object out is to do:
DatabaseTrackInfo.Provider.FetchSingle (int trackid);
