I did a quick search (using search terms "database reporting") but didn't find anything: apologies if this has already been discussed and I've not looked deep enough yet!
But anyway. I kind of like to report against my tags, as it helps me identify corruptions or badly tagged files. for example, if - among the various genres I've got - I find a genre called "Trace Techno" with only 1 file, but I also have a genre called "Trance Techno" with 30 or so tracks, then I can make corrections as necessary. The way I've currently been doing it is to export all tags from MP3Tag to a text file, and then report off that. It strikes me that it would be cool to have this info in a database of some sort. Then it strikes me that this info is -already- in a database: the slimserver DB. (I think it's MySQL?) So anyway - can I plug into this DB with a standard reporting tool and read what's there? Is it encrypted or anything? Has anyone already done something like this? I work for a software house that makes a reporting tool - so the benefits for me are 2-fold. I can get a clearer picture of my tags, plus I can get to grips with new company software by using it at home against my tag library :) Possible? Already done? Any comments? Cheers!
