Hi,

There is no reason for us using the database for the metadata, we plan
to remove as much of the database as possible and directly query
mediascanner.

Although we will need to track recently played items and playlists,
but this can easily be done.

Hope that helps, let me know if any other information is required.

Thanks,

Andrew
