iTunes uses a simple XML file (or two or three) to store most of the 
metadata.  Some of the data is stored as tags within the sound files.  
Make a duplicate of your music folder and get out your favorite XML 
editor and start learning.  iPhoto and iMovie are more likely to be 
available through an iLife Media Library (as might iTunes come to think 
of it).

The iLife media library you might need to look into is from Karelia 
Software and can be found here:

Hope that helps.
