[QUOTE="cesar_spain, post: 855628, member: 104249"] No, guys, the database shows the songs with and admiration, but the music is gone, deleted from the folder. Not only a song, it deletes complete folders. It is a NAS, 2x1TB Western Digital HDD, with RAID 1 enabled (mirroring), pretty safe system. I added the music manually, almost song bu song and I checked it carefully at the end. So the application is responsible for deleting the music. About plugins, here the deal. Let's say I want: a) Automatically change MP3 labels => I need easyMP3 program b) Add lyrics => I need another external program to download lyrics o do it by hand c) Download Covers (not found in iTunes stores, pretty common) => I need another external program or do it by hand d) Last.fm support, I need another external program. So, in order to manage my music a need a "package" of applications, each one for especific purpose, not included in iTunes. It is the same thing than browsers, imagine I need Opera for flash pages, Firefox for watching movies, Nautilus for downloading PDF files, Internet Explorer for seeing Java pages. What a mess, I would say. Honestly, I see little differences between those two examples. About security and stuff like that, which are the purpose of having multi user platform, each one with their specific permissions? I don't see the point of plugins here. About clear API (Applications Program Interface), it that, a common interface to programmers in order to add plugins (such as flash, quicktime and so on). [/QUOTE]
