There was a big old debate on this a last week and it was never resolved.
I made the code so that only one function would been to be changed
(bookmark_generate_bookmark_name()) in order to handle a centralized
model. I'm leaving that up to the community to decide the final
model, but I prefer de-centralized. I've toyed around with creating
an MD5 value for the bookmark file name and centralize, thus eliminating
duplication of names.

I think that this should wait until "user-defined" keys are implemented.

Easy enough change. I just kept it simple.

Yep. I have no idea how to do that though :-).

I waffled with that and ended up deciding up the track name since
some tracks may have a file name that is "track-1.mp3"

Not a bad idea. Shouldn't be that hard to implement, though backwards
compatability for the existing .bmark files would be shot (though
a perl script could fix it)

Thanks. It was something I wanted so I coded it up.
