That's all very well until you *have* to manually manage something, for
whatever reason, and you have to figure out what file is really involved
with your song.
That's the point I was trying to make about the application being able
to drop the file anywhere for you if you need it. You aren't going to
do anything useful with a multimedia file without an application that
knows how to handle it anyway. It's better to build generic file
handling into the specialized multimedia apps than to make all of your
generic file management utilities have to understand the details of all
multimedia files.
