Or use the gnunet-insert program with "--noextraction" option and a
nice gui form that is specificly for, say, audio and calculates and
adds the MD4/5 hashes as keywords.

I have read these messages (although the bug reports are new to me).
The thread about music insertion, seems to stop at which character
encoding should be used. The proposed "<title:>sontitel" seems quickly
forgotten.

Yes, this is true. However, if a file would have an additional keyword
with it's MD4 then ed2k links could be resolved using the MD4 provided
by them.
(because this is computationally intensive, it should never be mandatory)

What I would like to see is a proposal for the extra metadata a user
might want to add. Using only date is like saying computers will never
need more then 300K RAM.
