I had a look into the persistent.json file. It seems to be very complex. Is this something like an API or would it be better to don't touch it?
MM5 stores data in three different locations:
1) MediaMonkey.ini contains some app settings, such as launch preferences and other important settings
2) Persistent.json contains other app settings - Pretty much any minor data that wouldn't cause a big headache if it were lost. For example, your columns, views, and the general "state" of the app.
And 3) the database - which contains your library.
Ludek's point was moreso that it was not in the database. It's not necessarily meant to be changed by hand, even if there's no big risk if you do so. The worst that can happen, to my knowledge, is that you'll just have to delete it. MM automatically remakes persistent.json if it's deleted.
Having an addon handle it would make more sense than editing persistent.json by hand
