But being that I have several gigs of MP3's (don't start about copyright stuff, these are ripped from my CD collection), we're talking about a large number of ZClass instances (one per song) stored in the ODB.
Be aware that this will make your Zope object database massive and increse your memory requirements. Perhaps it would be simpler to just serve the actualy MP3s out of a static Apache and let Zope just handle the 'meta' information? If your running Linux, don't forget that ext2fs has a 2GB file size limit.
I have a jukebox program written in zope that just uses an external method to scan drives for albums and load this data into a RDB. Zope does all the reports and playing an album is just a matter of redirecting to a file: url. This works very well.
