This may help ever-so-slightly:
	alter table musicmetadata add index (artist,album);

If none of your filenames are longer than 255 characters...:
	alter table musicmetadata modify artist char(128) not null, modify album char(128) not null, modify title char(128) not null, modify genre char(128) not null, modify year int unsigned not null, modify tracknum int unsigned not null, modify length int unsigned not null, modify filename char(255) not null;

If I patch the fillList stuff, I'll lift the 255 character limit with
a separate table for source URLs (which we need for the streaming stuff
in MythRadio), but the metadata records will still be fixed-length.

Again, I can't tell what is slow because I don't have a large archive. :-(
