Me too.
Occasionally I'll correct a tag on MMA and sync this back to MMW.
Yes, it's possible but it is not convenient : the only edit i have to do is change rate. When i'm listening to my music on another PC (not my mmw main pc), i would change rating of track playing, and this isn't possible with MMW client connected to MMW server. I fi want to use my phone to rate the playing song on my PC, i have to make a search of the song..., it's a long process..
One solution could be to use my phone to listen my music with MMA, but with rendering on my PC to have the sound output on my speakers.
I could also use only my phone and use its jack output, but when i'm working on my PC, i prefer to use it to listen music and let my phone "not used" for music (even more when i'm working and could receive calls).
I ever used a shared database bit it is more complex to install on each client, and i lose the advantage of UPNP..
You don't necessarily need to share the DB if you're just concerned about tagging (it would be easier if you're concerned about Play History and/or Playlists as well). You can tag files on any PC and then rescan on other PCs to see the changes.
I don't understand, what do you mean exactly : if i listen to a track on my MMW "client" connected to my "MMW UPNP server" and want to rate this track, i can't change its "tag" (rate), it is the prupose of this topic, isn't ?
Thanks

[quote]A shared DB could work, but network sharing a DB will result in slower operations (as network is slower than local drive) and may result in conflict (if multiple PCs access DB at same time): http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/48/0/mediamonkey-in-a-shared--networked-environment[/quote]
