these were postponed until LiveQuery support is implemented

We will be doing this stuff over the next month or so along with a new 
improved metadata store. Some of it might change too as I suspect Music 
Album is a separate first class object wrt music tracks so this needs 
all glueing together.

The music interface will also be governed by what Rythmbox needs too as 
its likely to be our biggest customer...
