Because I need this to finish my shoutcast/icecast support and because
the tree generation is too slow - so currently my focus is the tree, not
the ipod support.

Basically, I want a more manageable tree. Once I have that, it's easier
to to have audio/mp3 cds and ipods appear in them, then it becomes
easier to work the ipod/whateverpod into the UI overall. 

I can see that copying playlists to the devices doesn't require this,
but copying from the device to the box would need it.
