Hi there - please ignore my comment about playlists as I don't use them...but I do design very large (>10Tb) commercial databases for a living! (OK so they don't use MySQL...but the general principles tend to apply!) That "cascade on delete" looks worrying :o) - also, what are these m:m relationships? - they tend to not work at all!
