The Full Text Search plugin seems to do this I think? mherger wrote: > The file paths are stored in the url column of the tracks table.

Excellent, I figured there'd be a relatively simple way to do this, thanks for the pointer! mherger wrote: > I think this will be the crucial part: how to store your additional > data.

As above, I did consider just adding a list of library names as the 'Genre' tag (I don't really use Genres for anything else at the moment). mherger wrote: > But this might actually be a pretty simple solution if you opted for the > > virtual libraries: a virtual library definition expects an SQL query > which returns track IDs to be used in a library.

Is there some kind of hook in the plugin I can use, or would it just be something I would do in 'initPlugin'? I think my main issue is that there doesn't seem to be much documentation regarding the plugin architecture and where to get started... Thanks for the response, very helpful.
