The pain of having to re-rate the tracks that I have rated and having
to re-create new browsing shortcuts that I have already created with
MySQL-"dependent plugins". If you believe that the transition to the new
db will be completely painless and that all users' libraries will be
re-scanned and migrated without "any" issues when the SQLite version is
released, I have a bridge to sell you.

This is not reason enough to drop the existing MySQL support. The NAS
users "might" be the source of most of the issues, but not the larger
user base. Unless the NAS vendor supports SC out of the box... you
should "expect" issues when running "applications" on a platform that
was not designed to do so.

All the customization I made with the MySQL-dependent plugins. With the
SQLite engine I will end up loosing performance in my server as I'd
would have to run another db engine. Do not assume that I'm using my
server and the db engine "exclusively" for SC. No vendor should assume
that their product has sole ownership of the user's platform where is
going to run.
