I follow what you're saying, in that the database could be made more
useful, but...  If the data associated with a given track (or album)
isn't to be found in the tags (or perhaps in a CUE sheet, but let's
ignore that for now), then where does it come from?  It either needs to
be contained in some other form, such as separate text files, or else it
needs to be entered manually in SlimServer.

This is where you'd need to begin turning SlimServer into a bonafide
music library management system.  It would require a user interface,
the ability to edit the metadata of multiple files, etc., etc.  I'm all
for eventually making SlimServer a music manager - in fact I think it's
inevitable, but it's a long way off.  Given the apparent difficulty
right now of performing even simple tasks upon the existing data, I'd
guess that's a very _long_ way off.
