There's been much discussion over the past few months about the marriage of databases and filesystems - with Microsoft's Longhorn reportedly sporting the
Yukon integrated SQL Server, and GNOME Storage in heaty debate, if not development, there's been lots to talk about.

Ok, maybe I'm out there, again, but I don't tend to give a @#$!% about Genre, I can usually figure the length by filesize, since I tend to not HAVE any files that aren't 44khz 16 bit (I delete anything faster, and anything lower quality I usually delete in favor of a CD rip), ignore ratings and comments (since I usually disagree with other people's anyways).....
I mean, I don't care about any of that; I just want to listen to the damn thing. A 30-50 character filename is fine for that; unless you get a band that does something wacko and has a 50 character album name.
As to too difficult to sort; sort by alpha, it separates by artist, then the album; assuming you take the time to name the files right in the first place.
Typical filenames:
Omar&TheHowlers_TheScreamingCat_01_When Sugar Cane Was King.MP3
Omar&TheHowlers_TheScreamingCat_02_The Screaming Cat.MP3
Omar&TheHowlers_TheScreamingCat_03_100 pounds of Pain.MP3
I dunno, I have no problems with that, and don't need more than it. Works even better in detail view; sorted by name; instead of that stupid malfin iconic view which is next to useless for most everything other than jpegs.
