PS3 Looking for documentation on the database shenanigans

[KFAQ]

Hi, I've tried googling and didn't find anything other than to rebuild the database. I'm wanting to add music over ftp without need to rebuild my database every single time. Does anyone have any info on how I would look into getting the ps3 to refresh and add anything new to the data for music?

The database is in the mms folder iirc. There's not a lot known about it afaik. It's not in sqlite format like the vita, PS4, or PS5's. Corrupting it will force a rebuild. I've never heard of someone adding to it successfully, since I think you'd be forced to hex edit.
