The way I'm thinking is that we preserve the "file system" based browser, so we don't mess with how things look on the screen. We are just using the database to allow us to play with the metadata. I certainly don't want things to be dependent on MP3 tags, I'm just thinking that for those people that want it, we could offer some very nice mp3 options. I should mention that I solely use MP3s for my listening (Freevo at home, iPod when out) so my tags are about as perfect as I can get, but I know not everyone will want or need this stuff. Think of it as an optional plugin. > Well this depends on how far you want to integrate the DB idea. > That was the mail reason why I dumped mythtv and went with Freevo instead. > So I would not recommend going with one.... > But if you want to use an database I would recommend SQlite > http://www.sqlite.org/ > Very fast and lightwieght I'm hoping whatever we choose is supported by something like Twisted so we don't have to increase requirements. The reason I want to avoid something like MySQL is because it's a huge requirement, and isn't really necessary, since, quite frankly, MySQL is only slightly better than flat files, and we don't need a true RDBMS anyway.
