Hi! This questions me about the link between the database and the songs that are "recreated each time".
Is it correct to say that the "database" structure built at runtime by RB contains tracks that are not saved back in the playlists.xml and rhythmdb.xml files ? And then: is the problem of handling all fonctionnalities (adding to playlist, tags) for any tracks (including daap-served and portable player ones) boiling down to finding a way to store those tracks in those files ? Having all my songs on a daap share and an ipod is a quite strong incentive for me to actually try and fix this issue if possible. cheers, Christophe On 3/2/07, James Doc Livingston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2007-02-28 at 10:39 +0100, Christophe Dehais wrote: > > On 2/27/07, James Doc Livingston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > G'day everyone, > > > > > > Recently I did most of the backend work required to support Keywords (or > > > category, or "web 2.0"-style tags" in Rhythmbox - which can be found > > > attached to bug 324540.
