So the data would have to be stored in the individual tag files which correspond to the tracks... Now, it wouldn't actually have to be in the database itself.


Yeah, it would. If you put extra fields in the *1 files, they're always included when the /empeg/var/database file is rebuilt. They'll always take up memory.

You'd have to invent your own side-by-side tag files, one for each track, and somehow build them into your own database file at the same time as the standard database rebuild.

And, unless you want to spin the disk up whenever you start a query, that's gonna have to be loaded into memory anyway.
