Whilest setting up a random play list I've decided NetJuke needs something to 
even out the types of music played in order to make the music flow from song 
to song...  especially after it chose to play Highway to Hell by Marilyn 
Manson (Detroit Rock City Soundtrack) and then directly afterwards it decided 
to play San Francisco (be sure to wear some flowers in your hair) by Scott 
McKenzie... as you can see, that kinda sucked as a followup song...

Can anyone think of a good method of defining the tone of songs?  From what I 
can tell, this is something that will need to be defined on a per track 
basis, at least at first.  From there, NetJuke could probably utilize the 
Comment fields of the ID3 tag (hope OGG has an equal feature) to keep this 
information for when/if we require a complete re-import.
