ofxMediaDB allows you to easily reach your ofTexture, ofSoundPlayer, ofTrueTypeFont or ofxFontStash objects from anywhere within your code - ofxMediaDB uses the "singleton" design patern to centralize all your loaded media objects. Useful on videogame projects and such, where multpile remote objects may share the same resoruces. It has a few Macros defined to simplify access even further.

example on how to handle textures:

//organize your texture ID list as enums for clarity and simplicity
enum myTextureIDs{ 
	TEX_MONKEY, 
	TEX_BANANA,
	etc...
};

void setup(){
	//load a texture
	bool didLoad1 = MEDIA_LOAD_TEXTURE("monkey.png", TEX_MONKEY);
}

... meanwhile, in some other class ...

void draw(){	
	//easily reach your textures from any file within your project
	ofTexture * tex = MEDIA_GET_TEXURE(TEX_MONKEY);
}

same can be done with ofSoundPlayers, ofTrueTypeFont and ofxFontStash
