One thing to watch out for: Rhythmbox expects location URIs to be in a
canonical form, which is that returned by gnome_vfs_escape_path_string -
namely every "special" character except '/', '&', '=', and '?' being
escaped.
If a URI is in a different form it will work, but you might get
duplicates showing up in the library.

We could probably have a "Import iTunes Library" menu item, and also ask
about it in the first-run druid.

Is the iPod-db the same format as the iTunes-db? If so, it should be
easy to add import support to Rhythmbox.
I imagine other people would find it useful, so feel free to post a
patch.
