[Empeg-general] Re: LDAP-interface to empeg-player

[yn0t_@empegbbs-noreply.merlins.org]

This is an interesting project, and works pretty well, but I'm struggling to figure out what it does that a user can't already do with some grep-ing of the fids files.  If it was faster, I think it'd be a worthwhile thing to use for searching a collection for duplicates and such.  But it seems to be too slow at this point.  It'd be really great if it could actually update the files (though I know LDAP is optimized for reading.)  In that respect, it would compensate for some of the things Emplode doesn't do well.  These projects are proving that you can really put anything on an Empeg...  But the meg or so of memory it takes caused some problems unless you kill it before going back to the player.  A neat thing to have, though.
