Man, I wish I had tools such as this.  If there was some perfect, 
global database that every player uses, that would be just *awesome*.  
As it stands, every player driven by a database that I've used just 
plain *sucks* (apologies to developers of any such players :).  I also 
don't tie myself to any one player.  So, I would need to maintain any 
number of databases.  Talk about a PITA and a complete waste of time!

Heh heh.  Everyone's been very civil lately.  We're all playing nice 
... aren't we?
