A brief thought: You could keep "nodes" and "files" separate...

I think this is the way to go, three base types: user, node, file

Where nodes are any kind of actual content that is typed into the site And files are anything that is uploaded by the user

Then you'd have node types and file types.. that could decide just how to display different things.

Then things like image and audio wouldn't have to re-implement all the upload/preview, infact they'd just be hooks to load meta data from the file.
