But above all: Abstraction.

Sure. But that itself doesn't mean we can't change it :-). 

For me, there is no difference between 
(1) a CD, 
(2) a file sample.tar.bz2 containing audio files
(3) a tuner with a number of channels

It's like with the old audio discs: Put the needle on one track and
there you are.

So instead of using tags and properties for (1), other tags for (2)
(named differently as was lately proposed on this list) and a separate
interface for (3) we should aim for some abstraction.
