This is lovely - thanks a lot!

I listen to a lot of foreign music and have had a hard time populating my zmusic database. There's a work-around (decode the relevant strings to Unicode) that seems to have worked but I have to leave for work before I'll be able to test this fully. I've never submitted a patch before and hope to use this as an opportunity to learn how to make one.

I have a basic question, however: why did you decide to use tab characters in your python? Most libs whose code I've read use spaces but I've never seen an argument for one convention or the other.
