More on my work on integrating Vorbis with Nautilus :)

For the track number, shall I check for 'TRACKNUMBER' or 'TRACKNUM' ? (If you
ask me, I prefer the former).

Secondly, MP3s have the 'Year' in their id3 tag info. Is there somethign
similiar with Vorbis? I did notice that there is a 'DATE' but I think that
will be "difficult" to use due to the /multitiude/ of date formats possible.
Not to mention that it'd be a bitch to parse. Can the "DATE" tag perhaps be
split into 'MONTH', 'DAY', and 'YEAR' - or can we just have an additional YEAR
tag?

Regards,
Ali
