Would I use the zope db to keep track of the audio or a relational db?

My question Is generally more generic, what advantage does zope give me
over another solution.

The streaming issue is secondary for me as is at this time bandwidth.
I will have hundreds of recording that will need to be maintained,
searched, edited, listened to etc.

I am trying to see how zope will help me do this.
