I would think so as well.  Yes, user profiles would be a much larger
undertaking than multiple libraries.

You could probably just take the existing database, and add a table
called 'libraries' with name, music and playlist folder settings.  Then
most of the other tables get an additional field referencing the library
number.  A scan could either do a single library, or it could scan all
of them.  All queries would need to use the library number to which the
player is currently attached.  The remote, web and cli interfaces would
need functions to switch a player between libraries.

I know ... patches welcome ...
