I agree; I like the idea of a standard media metadata library; making it too 'freevo-specific' isn't necessary. > It would be nice if the database had columns matching > the standard set of mmpython.

Like the metadata we'd store for music would be different then what we'd store for movies. It would make sense to make seperate tables for each. > If you need help or want to comment/change anything > in mmpython, just cry out. :) Thanks... I'm just starting on it...
