//options for storing metadata...
//store internally everything as a string - this is all going to be read to/from XML anyway, after all
//store using individual get/set functions ala Settings - this is a fair amount of work but the most explicit, for better or worse

//let's think about some of the special types we would like to support...
//image paths, sound paths, ratings, play counts
//these get represented behind-the-scenes as strings, floats, and integers, and are eventually saved as strings
//the only specialty is how they're edited and viewed, really

//so we need...
//to be able to iterate through the available metadata
//create components designed to either DISPLAY or EDIT a given piece of metadata
//save and load metadata
