Customizing Music Collection

[J. Allen Crider]

Right, I would like to have the composer for each track.  I can do it 
manually by adding Composer to the Tracks table in the Collection Fields 
and entering the composer information after importing other data, but it 
would make things much easier if it was imported with the other metadata.
