Is there any advantage to storing that data in the the player database that I'm missing?

MMm.. in reality, "database" == "tags". So the data would have to be stored in the individual tag files which correspond to the tracks. This way, it remains associated with the tracks across database rebuilds.

Now, it wouldn't actually have to be in the database itself, but without it there, building a playlist on the fly would take the same effort/time as rebuilding the database does.. too slow to be useful.

I think.
