| John, are you up for this idea?
Sounds interesting. I've done a bit with online tune entry, though I
haven't much advertised it. It could be fun to work on something a
bit more general.
Using a real database would be an interesting challenge. I haven't
done this, mostly because I really can't install and run a database
engine on this machine where I have an unprivileged guest account.
(Actually, they have given me a few privileges so I could take care
of a few things that would otherwise bother the admins. ;-)
One question would be how to organize a user-contributed tune
classification scheme. There are a lot of ways that one might like to
organize tunes. I wonder what a good UI would look like for this?
