I've no doubt that there's not much to change to get it to function the same.  
However, any custom SQL that has been written by users (or generated from 
templates) could also be wrong. Users could just recreate them from the 
templates again, or power users would know what to change, but it's not 
something that can happen automatically during migration.

More of a concern would be performance related changes.  eg. effects it may 
have on joins/indexes, which TrackStat will depend on.  From my limited play 
with 7.6 (SQLite) Browsing music library seemed a lot slower.  I'll try 
updating to latest though, because there was a recent bug fix for scan 
optimisation phase (wasn't being run).

Also, a general concern of a change in DB engine is character traits.  SBS has 
always had a multitude of issues with character encodings, unicode conversions, 
etc, and the DB engine could mean this will result in new issues/old issues 
reappearing.  Maybe this could affect TrackStat.

SQLite has some weird ideas.  eg. a VARCHAR column has no length constraint, 
even if it defined with one.  Maybe some of the weirdness that I remember from 
previous versions (quite a long time ago now) has been improved.
