Ok, I will not rely on that.
Anyway, I have seen that iTunes uses the same dictionary structure.
The file "iTunes Music Library.xml" contains a dictionary called Tracks.
This dict contains a series of dictionaries with an ID as key. So it's very
easy to get a track's dict asking for e.g.
    [tracks objectForKey:@"2604"];

Instead using an array of dicts, in case I have to search for an item by its
ID, I must iterate through the whole array looking for that ID, e.g.
    for(id item in items){
        NSString *ID = [item objectForKey:@"ID];
        if([ID isEqualToString:@"inID"])
            return item;
    }
