It is not that important. To keep some last.fm history it would be nice to keep the tables but not important. As effectively Last.fm operates on an artist\track title "key" I keep things at this level. So only if you change the artist or track title would you loose some last.fm data. erland;451388 Wrote: > In the LastFM scanning module bundled with Custom Scan I use > escape($artist->name) where $artist is a Slim::Schema::Contributor > object retrieved from the database.

I looked for the actual limit in the documentation but could not find it.
