The idea you list above about listing the mp3 as track 3 of a given cd, is
one route. If the mp3 have never been on a cd , take maybe the first 5 and
the last 5 seconds of that song and use them to generate a SHA1 key. This
is just one of those things that I'm still deciding on, as however I go I
have to make sure it'll work for other people too. Any suggestions and
comments on this are welcome.
