To me, this raises a question:

Looking at your comment for svn check-in 18740: "another too many hours
spent for a _very_ simple fix - make sure Genre is utf8 decoded before
storing it in the database.."

..shouldn't that have been "waaaaay too many.."?

Is SC's underlying db code getting a little long in the tooth?  We've
been through hash->SQLite->MySQL now and I'm wondering if what we've
got here under the hood is spaghetti code, especially given DBI's level
of abstraction.  Is it time to at least start considering a db-refactor
branch and effort?  Or do the developers just "not want to go there"
given the current batch of frying fish?
