I'm just creating a new site and wondering how I should structure my media content types to easily make use of this module in the future.

From what I understand this module can hijack multiple CCK Fields as long as they are in the same content type. So should I create one content type with filefield, imagefield, emfield (audio, video, image)? Is this the easiest way to future proof my site for Media Module?

Part of the idea behind the module is that you shouldn't have to do anything special for it.

Any of the CCK fields are likely to just port without you having to do anything. About the only things I'd be wary of are using the Image module (since it makes an Image node and has a lot of special code associated with it that might not be compatibility) and using other modules that do basically the same thing as Media but aren't well-supported in D6 yet (asset, etc.).

So, the short answer is just set up your content in a way that makes sense for your site and how you want to display things.

All those modules you mentioned will definitely be supported, if for no other reason than they're the modules I generally use... :P
