This is where autoqueue talks to last.fm, and the request + response
usually takes a little while to process. I'll see if it involves loops
that I can break out of more often. The good news is that it stores the
results of the request in the database, so the next time this song gets
played, the request to last.fm won't have to be made, and things will be
much faster.

This is where I store all the found relations into the database. I
postpone this until after queueing the newly found song. I'll
investigate if I can break up that work into smaller chunks too, so as
to minimize UI freezes.
