a solution to an interesting problem
but what if i use an ipod?
putting the metadata in the song and using your mechanism to cache it might speed up myth
It wouldn't really speed up myth at all. That's not really the point. Myth already caches the metadata in a database, I said that in my outline. Did you read it properly and do you understand how MythMusic works? And I was never, ever contemplating not putting the metadata in the song file itself. That is always needed. The description I wrote described how MetaLibrarian would take on the task of writing metadata to files for the apps etc.
It would however, speed up Myth, Amarok, etc. etc. as a single entity. All the programs I regularly use. It would mean they all have a common metadata backend. It would mean you could use Myth/Amarok/MadMan etc. etc. to sync playlists to your iPod/iRiver/Archos whatever.
If it works well, maybe even Apple could use it as a backend in iTunes (ha, yeah right!). But thats the kind of scenario I'm describing.
so really - this is dumb/stupid/pointless
Your arguments have failed to convince me (yet).
i would direct you energies into fixing the tagging in mythmusic
This will be done as well. I decided last night to write a simple id3 tagger last night, to get this bad air out of the way. Id3 is about as simple as it gets so it wont take long to write a little tagger from scratch, especially for the simple frames Myth uses.
