What about going multi-server. Having the UI be a seperate process that talks to the server. There can be multiple clients talking to the server so as to not have any corruption. This would be more a 3-tier rather than two tier as you suggest above.

Yeah MySQL will allow the files to be in the filesystem, the rest of the setup would be identical to what it is now, the only difference being that to backup your library would not be as simple as just copying a folder hierarchy.

I'd rather not code a custom content server and have the UI connect to it since that is alot of work for relatively little gain.
