What we don't seem to agree on is: (a) whether tags or a real db is the best place to store metadata and (b) whether users should be able to populate Slim's DB directly. As for others' arguments that storing metadata in tags leads to greater portability, that's simply a restatement of the argument "the others are broken too, and so we have to do it this way." If all player software allowed import/export of db's, then all this would be irrelevant, and tags could go back to their original purpose -- to support portable players. - Jeff -- JSonnabend ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JSonnabend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
