Can you be a bit more specific?
The SqueezeCenter database does not contain the music, those bits live
in files on your disk. The database contains artist/album/song data,
more precisely, meta data, data about the music.

The SqueezeCenter uses its database of metadata to know what to stream
to the SqueezeBox/Receiver/Transporter.

Playlists are separate, they are just lists of files to play. Its easy
to make playlists with nearly anything and have the SqueezeCenter play
the songs that are living in the disk structure that the SqueezeCenter
knows about.
