Hi,<div><br></div><div>I need similar functionality like mp3 players have (e.g rhythmbox, banshee, clementine). I have some experience with databases (I worked in company which make ERP systems), but don't know how to connect it with file handling.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My general questions are:</div><div>1. I have big collection of music. First indexing in random music player take some time, but refreshing collection take only a second. How they do this? They are saving folders last change date?</div>
<div>2. Some players have option which detect when collection is changed and automatically can refresh it (even if player is actually running). How it works? Some hook for folders?</div><div><br></div><div>Any tips, algorythms are welcome. Oh, I need this for linux and windows targets</div>
<div><br></div><div>Regards</div>
