So are we doing this or what? Anybody looking for some decent hosting?
Well if we are...
I'm thinking a db might be good. Since id3's are generally unreliable and most scripts can only read about 60% of them anyways (including flash's shoddy support of them - and I have no time to dig into the php tag script I'm using it to make it the all-seeing/ all-knowing).
When a file is uploaded it can be parsed, then the uploader can review the data and ensure it's read in right.
That should keep the server happy since it won't have to open a binary file and parse out tags every time somebody listens to a song.
