I have to say that I don't like "Library", because for me it seems to imply that that's the primary place to find my audio, which it isn't.
Llorean:
It may not be for you, but for a lot of our users used to other systems it probably is.
I don't want to speculate about the popularity of our database, but I *suspect* that those people who prefer a file view can see something like "Files" and "Library" (or perhaps "All Files" and "Media Library") and recognize that they can browse the files on their player directly.

_If_ we rename the Database to Library people will also expect to see videos in there, and other file types that are handled by viewer plugins. Until the Database can also index those files calling it "Library" seems wrong (and misleading) to me.
Llorean:
I don't know how "Library" would create such an expectation where "Database" doesn't.

I'm not sure how you drew that conclusion but if it were true we could call it "Audio Library" without that fear.
