 == Meta data ==
+rpld allows you to store any number of meta information for your playlist entries (tracks). Those are stored internally within rpld and are  sourced from the playlists you import. They are not read from the files directly. This allows much faster operation and enables proper tagging of resources such as streams.
+
 == Playlist Pointers ==
 == Playlist Entry Likeness ==
+Each entry (Track) has a value called 'likeness'. It tells rpld how much you like a song. This is most useful in random playback: rpld supports classical random playback as well as playing back randomly queuing songs you like more often. This information can also be used by user interfaces to sort songs or create 'best of' views.
+
 == The Store ==
+The store is a location rpld can optionally dump it's internal database so you do not need to re-import your tracks every time rpld is started. Store operations as well as location is normally controlled by the init scripts provided by the operating system. However there is a tool called rpld-storemgr which is helpful in case you need to do that yourself.
