Blobs

I am going to start storing my MP3s into a MySQL database. Many
people have reccomended that I only store filenames in the database.
This will work if I plan to only run my client programs locally. I want
to run programs on my laptop that can do queries and retrieve the
blobs.

Any reccomendations or known problems?

Thanks,
Chris
