??? an object can have arbitrary complexity. you could make a [linux] object, that runs a virtualized full operating system. however, the power of Pd is in _not_ having such blown-up object but a small, (more or less) orthogonal set of objects that allo you to build more complex objects. in this case: there is no high-level object that provides a "media database"; but you can build your own in Pd (if you wanted a single (external) object that does all for you, you would better search (or create) a specialized application and stay away from Pd for that very purpose). there are loads of ways to do the database, depending on your needs you can use file-system based storage of (media-)data, keep simple/numeric (meta-)data in tables, keep more complex data in textfiles, keep even more complex data in data-structures. all in all, you will have to keep your media-data (films, images) on your harddisk instead of a specilized object, and you will be glad about that once you have 30 gig of data and your RAM exploded.... > > You can construct that application with pd, but start from the begining with > the doc. that is good advice fgmasdr.
