zero: Only changes media file tags not database

Uses the new API from the previous commit and fixes #963.

There is a possible issue with backwards compatibility: Changes to the
item in the 'write' event do not propagate to the tags anymore. But I'm
not aware of other plugins that use the API in that way.
