"Same" was referring to "it is quite strange to install files in to user
directory", but it could mislead to refer to "consider moving" which I
did not intended to propose here. For sure it is the best place to have
users files in ~/.intone, but /home/root/.intone/intone_songs.db was one
of the files in the package (as shown by "opkg files intone") so the
songs db was overwritten on the install with the one from the package. I
had to delete it and start with the empty one.

/usr/share/intone is now empty, but I have all sound files in single
directory, so it took less of my time to recreate the db than to write
this sentence :).

By the way when adding files it would be nice to have (if not a progress
bar) a message of the form "Adding directory %s, %d files scanned" (or
similar) updated every second (or may be twice a second), so the user
knows something is going on and the program is not frozen.

Great!
