Now that I think of it, I totally agree. Perhaps it would be better to
enumerate which types of tracks allow editing of metadata? I admit, I'm
not deeply familiar with all of the track types. I do see benefit in
adding metadata to URL tracks, even if it is only in the cache-db.
Let me know if there's any further thoughts on this. I am happy to
improve the code in another pass so it is a bit more clear.
