Yeah; see the thread on this list titled "ipod support" - we discussed this a bit there. One thing I do think is that while we're doing this kind of open-heart surgery on rhythmdb, we should try to refactor it to store directories and songs, along the lines of what I talked about in "rhythmdb postmortem". > What about things file-systems like NFS? > the physical location attribute could be the NFS address or some other > unique identifier. That seems kinda evil - you could be on two networks that both have NFS servers whose IP address is something like 192.168.1.1. I don't think direct NFS support is as important as removable devices - it's much less of an end-user type of thing.
