I think the right approach is to stick with Zeitgeist and then figure out ways to access/discover contents that you don't have in your Zeitgeist log.

For Natty I see two things we can do to improve the situation:

 a) Ship more dataproviders for Zeitgeist. In other words: Make sure apps either update .recently-used.xbel or that they log stuff directly in ZG.

 b) Integrate other means of discovery. For example:
   b1) Listing music files via the MPRIS2 API
   b2) Integrating removable devices (USB sticks) directly in the places (they just show up in the launcher now)
   b3) U1 integration
   bN) ...

If we combine these things I think we can have a very light and flexible system which we can tailor just to our liking.
