does it really make sense to put it into the player database?

I forget why I thought it may be a good idea to use the existing database functionality. Most likely for the same reason to climb Mount Everest, because it's there. Why reinvent a second database, unless like you said, it could be made faster and lighter weight.

I did realize the memory constraints would hurt players with the stock amount of memory. Maybe the attribute query app would be cool enough to drive memory board sales Which... aren't being produced anymore, so nevermind.

But after listening to Musicovery and reading about liveplasma and Pandora, a brute force attribute tagging system seems redundant. Still, the system seems beneficial if attribute tags could be similar to .LRC lyric files: created once, uploaded to a central server, then downloaded and appended to MP3 files by many people. Maybe I'll try it someday.....
