I have several players (amarok, kaffeine, KsCD, MPlayer, VLC) so will be 
able to pick up the data easily enough. The problem for me is which 
program to use for the database. At the moment I am looking at OO Base, 
which could well be suitable, although it is nowhere near ready for a 
business to use yet.

I am also looking at REALbasic as a possibility. I will let people know 
how I am getting on.
