I knew I couldn't have been the only one to think about this. Yes, I would be very interested.  Feel free to contact me.

Why .net and IIS? :(

APACHE BABY!!!!

and PHP !!!!!

I think I'm gonna have to throw something together myself that will do this.

The thing I dont like about it is I can get the data one way - from MC to the website, but I cant then update MC with the data from the website which I find ANNOYING as I plan to let all my friends view the files and tag them (add themselves as the people etc) so that it's not a case of sitting down and manually tagging tons of pictures by myself but rather of letting people just tag them as they go along - sooo much nicer and less nerdy - I dont want to be tagging all day of my life :(

I've started making something in php to do this.

So far I've got it so it can parse the XML for all the field names and then create the mySQL table automatically.
It can also identify each item.

Now I just gotta get it so it can get all the values for each field and insert these into the SQL and it'll be done.

My library is a bad one for testing though :)

My library is 90 megs so takes ages to read in :)

I'm not well versed with the way that the database is stored, but are you able to read the "live" database directly or are you using the XML export?  Ultimately, the best case scenario would be to read the database directly so that an export would not be required each time an update is made.

Actually,

One version of what I'm working on imports tag info from directory (and sub-directory) of mp3 files into MS SQL Server 2000 (so you've got to make sure you tag your files accurately in MC), sets up a relational DB with 3 degree normalized tables, then the asp.net pages use the sql data to build dynamic web-based music library. Another version takes exported XML library data from MC and applies XLST to create webpage of mp3s (with album art, bios, etc., if they exist). Ultimately, I want a portion to run as a service and monitor a user-defined folder (and it's subfodlers if they exist) and make updates (add/change/delete) to the db automatically so the webpages are always up to date.
