Good morning,

I am developing a music player app which will download the music data from my website. The music is proprietary so I want to download links, metadata, etc. When the app starts up. the catalog is downloaded and stored. Based on the complexity, should I store all of this information in a database? If a database, when the app starts up I plan in blowing the database and reloading the data fresh.
