Looking at a Wikipedia page, it mentions it uses SQLite. So I'd guess that it does use an external database, for its own needs. And looking at the dates, seems like it's abandonware. Using a proprietary/internal all well and good if you only intend to use your media on one computer. But useless if you intend to play it in more than one place, or if you use your computer to set up the metadata for use elsewhere. I struck that problem, long ago, with one or two photo applications. Hundred's of photos all held captive by those programs, because only they can read their own photo databases for metadata. Files like JPEG and MP3 have metadata tags for storing metadata within themselves for good reason, it's the only way to ensure the metadata stays with the data. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
