I am currently using an crude improvisation involving tab-delimited fields to store metadata for recordings -- not configuration data -- in text files. I had been planning to convert to XML, but now I am wondering whether ConfigObj would be easier. I would like for the metadata files to be editable, but editing does not have to be easy as it needs to be done rarely. I've never used XML, so I am wondering whether there are other tradeoffs between that approach and ConfigObj that I should be aware of. I was thinking of XML mainly to have a more robust format. For example, it would be nice if it were possible to add fields without obsoleting early versions of the reader. Crossplatform compatibility is also desirable. -- Jeffrey Barish
