### I can't seek through MP3s
The MP3 decoder in gstreamer's ffmpeg plugin doesn't support seeking through MP3s, you should install the one in gstreamer's ugly plugins package instead.

### I can't play MP3s in openSUSE
openSUSE's gstreamer0_10-plugins-ugly package is incomplete, and doesn't contain any mp3 codecs. You should add the Packman repository ([instructions on the openSUSE website](http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories)) and install the `gstreamer0_10-fluendo-mp3` package.

### Why doesn't Clementine use MySQL?
Clementine uses [sqlite](http://sqlite.org/) to store metadata for the songs in your library, as well as your playlists and devices. We've found that sqlite provides great performance even on huge libraries (300,000+ songs), and Clementine uses the [fts plugin](http://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html) to make searching even faster. We see no benefit in supporting other database backends as well as or instead of sqlite, and it would make the code much more complicated and difficult to maintain.

### Is Clementine CPU hungry?
This depends on the hardware you're running clementine on. On an Intel i5 quad core, clementine uses around 1% CPU on normal playback. When scanning the library, or doing other background jobs, it can be as high as 25% for one CPU. On machines, like netbooks (e.g. eee pc 701 or 901) with an Intel Atom CPU running at 600Mhz, clementine may use around 40% CPU on normal playback and when doing background jobs its CPU usage can go up to 80%.

Updating the database can cause some temporary playback problems (stuttering) on these machines. Especially if the storage is provided by USB sticks, SD cards or over the network (wifi). Normally, these problems disappear when the database is up to date.
