This should offer a performance increase since the item to insert will
only be copied if it is not already in the database.

Inserting into a vector can sometimes cause the entire vector to
reallocate itself. The insert() function returns a pointer to the
caller, so this reallocation could invalidate the returned pointer.
This is not what we want.
Instead, store pointers to the data in the vector. C++ provides a
default copy constructor that can be used to allocate a new item before
inserting. By doing it this way callers won't have to allocate memory
themselves. In addition, I will no longer need to keep a valid bit
since we can simply check for a NULL entry in the database.

This gives me the item directly, which is usually what I want when I
call these functions. Save iterators for iterating.

I properly initialize variables, and I created supporting databases that
will be used to look up artist, album, genre and library information.
