+The location column is the one column that is absolutely necessary for

stored remotely on "www.example.net".

+There are other columns which can be used by the script to provide information.

+- **id** is used to identify the media entry to the user in case of an error in the batchaddmedia script.
+- **license** is used to set a license for your piece a media for mediagoblin's use. This must be a URI.
