Since metadata is available, I might aswell see what I can do with it
so:
Would it be possible to have a master metadata DB on a CD, so that when
I went about distributing my CD to clients the folders would have
meaningful icons? 

Is there any documentation on what can be done with Metadata in Gnome?
