I'm against using an xml file for every reciter, because this will require 
un-needed work in writing these XMLs, while they don't provide much data
(you can get the filename using a coding scheme for example s001a001.ogg and 
the name of the reader can be put in a separate utf8 file as I noted before)
This is to ease the task of adding a new reciter to the library
