Yes see : http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/shared-filemetadata-spec

I have not added the PlayList object to that spec yet cause I have not 
decided what metadata a playlist should have.

In Tracker (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Tracker), I have added 
the following to the  Playlist first class object:

PlayList.DateCreated
PlayList.LastPlay
PlayList.PlayCount
PlayList.Description
PlayList.RDFQuery


The last entry (RDFQuery) is for smart playlists whoose contents are 
based on the result of that query.
