while I'm hardly a DB expert, I know how to create a table and do INSERTs. how hard should it be to traverse a directory tree with find or some smarter iterator in a python script and extract the ID3 data and format it to an INSERT command? I bet I can hack this up within an hour and most of the time will be reminding myself a few things I forgot and finding an ID3 tag reader CLI tool or something. question is, do you want it to interface with an existing app? then you just need to use an existing table. will actually save you a step. :) all depends on what you intend to do with the data in the end of course.
