Okay, I get the point. Although BPM should be stored
in the file. In fact there is an id3v2 field for that. :)
But I agree that a database frontend would be cool.
At first, I thought of mmpython as a pure retrieval
tool -- which it should stay IMHO.
It would be nice if the database had columns matching
the standard set of mmpython. I tried to accumulate
standards for finding a common set of attributes for
the different types of media.
If you need help or want to comment/change anything
in mmpython, just cry out. :)
