rtv and me were working on a redesign of the music database over the last days.

The old design was not flexible anymore and it resulted in to many joins to retrieve simple data.

so we've decided to create a flat db style, with no normalisation.
The result is of course a larger file, but this size is still less than an album ripped into mp3.

The new design allows us to implement more things in th future.

For the beginning you have now support for multiple artists, genres and albumartists.
You could simply separate them by a semicolon (";") like WMP does.
for example:
U2;B.B. King

the song / album will then appear for both artists.
same goes for genre and album artists.

There may be still some errors / incompatibilities´, which we will fix over the next days.

needless to say, that a rescan of the shares is necessary.
thx,
