Database capabilities

How is the database info stored?  I'm not a great programmer, but I'd
love to put together a better querry system.  Shouldn't it be possible
to querry the database and return a list of just the matching songs or
albumns or whatever?  These could then become a playlist. The
sort-by-genre thing works ok, but it doesn't take the place of a real
database search.

As things stand, if you want to bring up all the albumns in the genre
"punk" from after 1980, you have to:

1. copy all your songs to a new playlist (or you might miss some)
2. sort by genre
3. select all the punk songs and remove others
4. sort by year
5. remove all the unwanted years.

A better alternative would be to have a search engine that allows you to
do:
Search by: genre (Punk) and year:(>1980)

Juliet was a Marxist, Cloquet reminded himself.  And the most
interesting type of Marxist -- the kind with long, tanned legs.  She was
one of the few women he knew who could hold two disparate concepts in
her mind at once, such as Hegel's dialectic and why if you stick your
tongue in a man's ear while he is making a speech, he will start to
sound like Jerry Lewis.
