This function can be called by any code which wishes to change a song property and send a notification. It may be called when the database is read-only; in this case the change will be queued for an unspecified time in the future. The implication of this is that `rhythmdb_entry_get()` may not reflect the changes immediately. However, if this property is exposed in the user interface, you should still make the change in the widget. Then when the database returns to a writable state, your change will take effect in the database too, and a notification will be sent at that point.

Note that you must call `rhythmdb_commit()` at some point after invoking this function, and that even after the commit, your change may not have taken effect.

`db` : | # a RhythmDB.
`entry` : | a RhythmDBEntry.
`propid` : | the id of the property to set.
`value` : | the property value.

Creates a query from a list of criteria.

Most criteria consists of an operator (RhythmDBQueryType), a property (RhythmDBPropType) and the data to compare with. An entry matches a criteria if the operator returns true with the value of the entries property as the first argument, and the given data as the second argument.

Three types criteria are special. Passing RHYTHMDB_QUERY_END indicates the end of the list of criteria, and must be the last passes parameter.

The second special criteria is a subquery which is defined by passing RHYTHMDB_QUERY_SUBQUERY, followed by a query (GPtrArray). An entry will match a subquery criteria if it matches all criteria in the subquery.

The third special criteria is a disjunction which is defined by passing RHYTHMDB_QUERY_DISJUNCTION, which will make an entry match the query if it matches the criteria before the disjunction, the criteria after the disjunction, or both.

Example: rhythmdb_query_parse (db, RHYTHMDB_QUERY_SUBQUERY, subquery, RHYTHMDB_QUERY_DISJUNCTION RHYTHMDB_QUERY_PROP_LIKE, RHYTHMDB_PROP_TITLE, "cat", RHYTHMDB_QUERY_DISJUNCTION RHYTHMDB_QUERY_PROP_GREATER, RHYTHMDB_PROP_RATING, 2.5, RHYTHMDB_QUERY_PROP_LESS, RHYTHMDB_PROP_PLAY_COUNT, 10, RHYTHMDB_QUERY_END);

will create a query that matches entries: a) that match the query "subquery", or b) that have "cat" in their title, or c) have a rating of at least 2.5, and a play count of at most 10

Emits a request for extra metadata for the `entry`. The `property_name` argument is emitted as the ::detail part of the "entry_extra_metadata_request" signal. It should be a namespaced RDF predicate e.g. from Dublin Core, MusicBrainz, or internal to Rhythmbox (namespace "rb:"). Suitable predicates would be those that are expensive to acquire or only apply to a limited range of entries. Handlers capable of providing a particular predicate may ensure they only see appropriate requests by supplying an appropriate ::detail part when connecting to the signal. Upon a handler returning a non-`NULL` value, emission will be stopped and the value returned to the caller; if no handlers return a non-`NULL` value, the caller will receive `NULL`. Priority is determined by signal connection order, with `G_CONNECT_AFTER` providing a second, lower rank of priority. A handler returning a value should do so in a GValue allocated on the heap; the accumulator will take ownership. The caller should unset and free the GValue if non-`NULL` when finished with it.

`db` : | a RhythmDB
`entry` : | a RhythmDBEntry
`property_name` : | the metadata predicate
Returns : | an allocated, initialised, set GValue, or NULL

Emits a signal describing extra metadata for the `entry`. The `property_name` argument is emitted as the ::detail part of the "entry_extra_metadata_notify" signal and as the 'field' parameter. Handlers can ensure they only get metadata they are interested in by supplying an appropriate ::detail part when connecting to the signal. If handlers are interested in the metadata they should ref or copy the contents of `metadata` and unref or free it when they are finished with it.

### The `"save-complete"` signal

    void                user_function                      (RhythmDB *rhythmdb,
                                                            gpointer  user_data)      : Run Last

`rhythmdb` : | the object which received the signal.
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"save-error"` signal

    void                user_function                      (RhythmDB *db,
                                                            gchar    *uri,
