Why not? If all files were modified at the same time, they should all have the same modification time. Tracking file changes is really the only reason the modification time is stored at all. Not updating it breaks more than just mpd too. For example, rsync uses the same technique to determine which files have changed. Of course it checks file size too, but that doesn't really help when doing things like editing ID3 tags, since doing so rarely changes the file size. > On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 3:24 AM, Jonny <jonnyt...@gmail.com> wrote: > > In the meantime, is there any way of selectively removing > > songs/albums/etc from the MPD database? What I do is use a "fake" music directory, with symlinks to my actual music. My "real" music directory has only a few directories, plus a "todo" directory with music that still needs to be sorted. In my "fake" music directory, I have symlinks to everything in there *except* the "todo" directory, keeping it out of my database. It might be a bit hard to manage if you want to keep out, say, specific albums or songs, and not just one out of a few top level directories. But it wouldn't be too difficult to write a script to create symlinks to everything in a given directory, excluding a subset of it's contents.
