I would second Gadfly as a suitable database for your project.  Better 
and faster to use existing tools rather than write one.  If someone 
hasn't already pointed it out check out:

for some handy MP3 related utilities such as reading and updating MP3 tags.

I am looking toward doing a similar thing using wxPython, but as a means
