But filesystems are for more than just music. While mp3's have a lot of 
metadata stored with them already, most files do not. Thus, what makes 
sense of music won't necessarily make sense for other kinds of data. 
What about the documentation that I personally create? If I don't 
specifically sit down and create that metadata, it won't exist.
