 a) "information panel" seems to refer to Nepomuk's FileMetadataWidget 
embedded in Dolphin. That widget was IMO never intended to edit the files. 
Dolphin is not a tag editor and shouldn't be IMO.
 b) audiocd kio slave  ||  mp3 song  ||  information panel. There three have 
no relation at all, e.g. KIO shouldn't be used to edit tags at all, this would 
be convoluted and just plain wrong.
 c) "integrate libkcddb and nepomuk-metadata-extractor" hmm, sounds nice, but 
how? What would Nepomuk attach the metadata to? Just to the currently inserted 
CD? What would be useful about it when you have the metadata already available 
from cddb?
 d) "Probably whoever does this should be in touch with the Amarok (...)" this 
triggered my -1, as such mishmash wouldn't be useful at all for Amarok.

Todd have perhaps missed this

?
