First, just have to say what a great site. Your effort is appreciated!
As the topic subject indicates, I'm curious if there is a way to directly access the database? I am in the process of working with the files in my collection, and having the ability to create and use my own queries against the database would greatly ease the gathering of what I consider accurate information!
Specifically, I'd like to gather certain field's values relating to a source, and the setpage for that source.
An example:

I've written a program to name/rename my files in a very consistent manner using a dictionary of known song titles and whatever original information was provided by the bootleg label (sketchy at times), or provided by the generous posters on various torrenting sites or usenet (also sketchy at times). Unfortunately, the results are "fuzzy" at best due to misspelled titles, or missing information altogether. Getting accurate information from the DB would/should eliminate any "fuzzy" results!
