saving mp3 files in the database

has anyone got any opinions on the pros/cons of storing mp3 files in the database instead of the file system ?

How could this be done ? Would it be a binary data type ?

It would be done exactly the same way images (or any document type for that matter) are stored in the database. Search this forum, there are plenty of examples on just how to do that (one today, and one yesterday that I saw).

SANs...anyone have an opinion?

Anyone want to express there opinions or relate an experience no the use of a SAN solution in an MS-SQL2000 (and some Informix) shop? Any gotchas, ideas, lessons learned appreciated.
-thanksRefer to this http://www.sql-server-performance.com/ew_san.asp (Link) which has got the information required as I'd followed earlier.
