Is there any chance of supporting Sqlite database instead of CSV with Yate? Many music apps like Swinsian, Plex Music store their information in Sqlite which is easy to access and easy to recover, and also better readability imo.

Having Yate support Sqlite as its database standard would allow to merge/synchronize with these libraries of Swinsian/Plex Music easier with some Python programming.

I realize it's probably a big feature request, but being able to export my metadata (and synced intervals) from Yate's database to my music library in Plex (that doesn't write metadata to files) would save me a lot of hassle. It would also give me a reason to give up Swinsian since Yate is mostly just detailed list-view of selected files instead of having to scan a music folder and import the albums whilst placing them in an artwork grid-view so it's easier to edit albums without having to manually find them in your folder structure.

Any thoughts on this?

There are several Python scripts that convert CSV to Sqlite databases, obviously there would still be a lot of testing whether it all gets processed properly, but it got me thinking that would it work as a simple action (initially, until you actually add the feature) by executing it as an external script?

The only thing that I'm still unsure is that exporting the CSV to a SQLite database would still be manual, afaik Yate doesn't have a CLI method to run Yate, execute specified action on specified folder and then set up a cronjob to have this done once a day?
