Right, because say we added user tagging to the db, obviously one person's
tags for a particular set of songs are going to be different to someone
else.

Personally, the problem is easily to solve by people having their own 
database of the actual files.  If we started talking about sharing
a music database, we could have a process that will alert participating
apps that the physical music area has changed and ask them to update 
their databases to get the new files.
