With my limited experience on the matter, I'd advise you against Baloo<br>
for multimedia metadata.<br>
<br>
For 2 reasons:<br>
- You will need to manage streams metadata, from online content, and<br>
you'll need Taglib parsing anyway, duplicating the code<br>
- Multimedia metadata is weird, and can be inside files, outside, or<br>
using some weird unstandardised conventions. I doubt that will fly<br>
well with Baloo.<br>
<br>
With my kindest regards,<br>
