It is a more complete and flexible solution than mine, but certainly more complex and demanding as far as dependencies goes (python, HTTP server). It also is more conventional in its approach, with a tag db created at startup. This is something I wanted to avoid, because cmus scanning my collection during my machine startup made my HGST HDD produce death throes like noises.
