Sorry for dragging up this thread, but I've recently discovered this plugin and combined with FanArt and the XFace skin and I absolutely love it.

I need to look more at the code this evening, but I may (note, I'm not certain) volunteer to abstract the data access into more of a provider type implementation which would allow us to have a .dll that implements SQLite and another that implements MSSQL (and if someone wanted, they could do a MYSQL).

In my mind, I'm thinking a set of base classes that define the object and provide methods that each implementation would override to actually load the data into and out of the data store. Via a config file entry, would you be able to specify which .dll you want.

Maybe we can exchange some email and I could provide a skeleton of what I'm thinking and if you approve, I'll go ahead and do it. Not to sound like an *ss, but I don't really want to spend a lot of time writing something that won't be added. (I'd prefer to use the same code everyone else is using, that way when a bug is fixed, I don't have to try and merge the fix in the "special" version I'm running.)

Thoughts?
