And that's a good example. The app seems more or less useful (I own like
2 CDs, so I'm not qualified ;-), but you have to install (not so hard)
and configure (somewhat hard) a postgresql server to keep your CDs in
order?

So, the author pf the app can either create an app that will have
trouble finding users, or have trouble kicking a text file into
doing his bidding.
