Like Thomas said, mmpython does caching. When I integrate the whole
set of features of mmpython we can fast access all metadata from
files. Not only mp3 id tags, also informations in videos (I was
suprised to see what avis and mov have about the file). mmpython can
do caching based on the directory (or cd/dvd). Accessing a cached
directory is very fast and you since the caching is done by mmpython,
you can cache all your directories without freevo (e.g. cron). What
you can't do right now is 'where is song xy on my harddisc'. But if
you need that, too, you can get this informations by writing a search
plugin over the cache files.
