This wouldn't work. The database id of a shared track is different from the
database id of the track on the original machine. I wouldn't expect it to
either. That original id may already be in use on the local machine.
Other than the name of the track and playlist name I don't see anything in a
shared library that can uniquely identify the shared track on the original
machine. Looks like I will have to stick with track and playlist name.
