/*
 * This is the sticker database library.  It is the backend of all the
 * sticker code in MPD.
 *
 * "Stickers" are pieces of information attached to existing MPD
 * objects (e.g. song files, directories, albums).  Clients can create
 * arbitrary name/value pairs.  MPD itself does not assume any special
 * meaning in them.
 *
 * The goal is to allow clients to share additional (possibly dynamic)
 * information about songs, which is neither stored on the client (not
 * available to other clients), nor stored in the song files (MPD has
 * no write access).
 *
 * Client developers should create a standard for common sticker
 * names, to ensure interoperability.
 *
 * Examples: song ratings; statistics; deferred tag writes; lyrics;
 * ...
