its failing on this line for me

metadata = ifacem.Get('Music', file, ['audio.artist', 'audio.title', 
'audio.album'])

as it says "Entity with ID /home/jamie/music/Gustav Holst - Mars, the 
Bringer of War.ogg not found in database" in log file

This would cause an exception in python and so halt the client (as its a 
dbus error)

Fix should be to use "Files" instead of "Music" for the service 
parameter in metadata get method (this is a bug in tracker_db_get_id in 
tracker-db.c as its hardcoded to reject any service thats not "Files".)

patch welcome to fix tracker_db_get_id (and tracker_db_get_file_id)

jamie.
