cache the servers files.db on the client side ?

[starbrights]

Is it possible (theoretically first of all) to operate on a local files.db - so that (static) files.db is on the client side, while files are located on the server?

Background is: my music collection is on a HDD is connected to a router that has only an extremly slow USB connection. This is fast enough to stream mp3, but navigation with a 30..120MB files.db (covering my collection) is extremly slow or impossible. I could imagine that this speeds up navigation.

Sounds simular indeed. But I think it points to cache the real content, not the database (files.db) with references to content.
(For me the thousands of mp3 files are content, the files.db is to navigate and control)

I think caching would be possible but at the moment I've not enough spare time to work on the project. The project needs some refurbishment, too. If you are interested maybe contribute some code?
