Do I understand what you've written correctly?  If I open and play a .wav
file located on a usb stick in JukeBox, the wav file's data is serialized
into the activity instance on write_file?

I just played with jukebox and it does not seem to work this way -- I loaded
in a .wav file, played it, and then closed my activity instance.  I removed
the usb stick and relaunched my jukebox activity instance.  Jukebox was not
able to play my file.  Also, my file was not added to the journal.

Let me try to rephrase my question in terms of the jukebox activity: If I
wanted to add an option to jukebox which "imports" wav files selected with
the object chooser into my journal, what would be the best way to detect if
the files were already in the journal or not?
