from './metadata/rb-metadata-common.c
"
/**
 * RBMetaDataField:
 * @RB_METADATA_FIELD_TITLE: Title of the recording
 * @RB_METADATA_FIELD_ARTIST: Person(s) responsible for the recording
 * @RB_METADATA_FIELD_ALBUM: Album containing the recording
 [...] 
 *
 * Metadata fields that can be read from and written to files.
 */
"

So, is this how one can access a file's metadata, and then write it to
the RhythmDB / RhythmDBEntry, then?

Is there currently a way to access this with Python? If it is, please
point me to the right function - despite looking for hours, I can't find
it.

If there is no way to do this in Python, please confirm this, and I'll
be happy to try to add the bindings.
