DB Layout

[lyle]

This is a info request and a feature request (of sorts) so sorry for the slightly OT post

Please can you tell me where T2F stores its tag data.  One thread mentions that it can be done in the metafile data.  Another post mentions a Data base.
If there is a database, please can you tell where it is stored.  

What I would like to be able to do is import my MP3 tags into the system... Now before the wrong impression is created. I do NOT think that T2F should build any actual MP3 functionalit in.  The world has more than enough playlist managers.  I

Hi,

both postings are right, on the one hand we store data directly in file metadate (NTFS Alternate Datastreams), and we have a central database for fast search. This database (by default) is stored at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\tag2find\ (one of its subdirectories).

Please note, that if you manipulate this database, these changes are only reflected in the frontend after a reboot or at least a restart of the service, as this database is not directly queried by the frontend.

The database we are using is a plain SQLite 3 database. You can view it with any appropriate SQLite browser. Please note, however, that the format of the database is yet subject to change without any prior notice, because we do not consider it being an official API for accessing our tag data.

Regarding your suggestion, we are not going to be "yet another MP3 playlist manager". What you at the moment can already do, however, is to directly listen to MP3s from the TagBrowser.

Best regards,
Martin
