I predict people are NOT going to be spending their days 'classifying'
things for later use. At best, they'll give something a title...
maybe... if they feel ambitious -- unlikely.

Even if you do classify or use 'smart lists,' whenever you request a
song you must submit yourself to 'negotiation of attributes' you have
placed between yourself and the song. You're taking feature-creep to a
whole new level.

At most times, people want a song to be *exactly that* -- 'a song' -- 
and NOT some rich psychological matrix of parareferences.

There is no liberation here. 




P.S. Do you remember when you just used to put a dime in the jukebox?
