A browser source will automatically display all entries of the entry
type it is given on construction. So, what you need to do is to create
a new database entry. I'd suggest looking at the jamendo and magnatune
plugins, however..

The relevant part of the Jamendo plugin is
JamendoSaxHandler.endElement, which does this (more or less):

entry = self.__db.entry_new(self.__entry_type, track_url)
self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_ARTIST, self.__data["artist"]["name"])
self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_ALBUM, self.__data["album"]["name"])
self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_TITLE, self.__data["track"]["name"])
self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_TRACK_NUMBER,
int(self.__data["track"]["numalbum"]))
self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_DATE, date)
self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_GENRE, albumgenre)
self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_DURATION, duration)
self.__db.commit()
