If as Soren says SQLite has improved and is really scaling to large
collections (we talk in several thousands of tracks, DJ sampling can get
very large indeed), I have nothing against it, but we need to keep the
server option for those who want it.

We would also have to provide a migration tool from MySQL embedded to
whatever we chose for the future, one that is non-developer proof. This has
not always been smooth in the past...

Regards, Myriam
