You basically have two options:

1) Create a new moodbar data engine. this would be able to provide any info 
that you require.
2) extend the current track engine to include the info that you need

I would lean towards #1 simply because its more modular and we might as well 
use the flexibility of the applet/dataengine system if we have it.
