\subsection{Introduction}
-Tag Cache is the Rockbox music database system. Using the information
-contained in the tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis Comments, Apev2, etc.) in your
-audio files, Rockbox builds and maintains a database of the music files on
-your player and allows you to browse them by Artist, Album and Genre.
