Hi PyToners!
Taking the chance of the Swiss national holiday, I finally managed to build a new major release of PyTone. As usual, it can be found under
http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-3.0.0.tar.gz
It contains a completely new database code based on the SQLite database. I thus recommend using the latest Python version with a corresponding built-in binding.
Note that the migration of old databases will not be supported. The same holds true (at least currently) for setups with more than one database. Remote database are completely untested, and currently not supported, as well.
The new database code should be much more performant and already allows a couple of nice things which had been impossible before. Furthermore, I used the opportunity to include more metadata in the database. The preferred (read: most tested) ID3 decoder is now the mutagen module

I'm sure there will be a couple of loose ends with this release. Since I cannot spend too much time on PyTone, it's sometimes hard to keep the overview, especially if there are that many changes like in this release. So please be graceful with me!
Have fun,
Jörg
