i think it would make sense something like a threashold, ie when a type of 
data is managed by files, and when its intrinsic complexity makes it better to 
be managed by something else so that be it (like music, like emails etc)
if the application then matches with the general idea, of being a browser of a 
particular type of data, it should work pretty well
