getFor

public static GUIMedia getFor(Media media)
                       throws Exception

Instatiate the correct GUIMedia sub-class for the given Media object.

When we load a Media object from storage, we don't yet know specifically what type it is, but each type of Media has a different GUI representation, so we need to check the type of the Media and then create an instance of the correct sub-class of GUIMedia.
