Thanks much for the pointer Vishesh. I don't recall moving any files
around when this happened but I'll definitely take a look.

Thanks Evgeny. For testing purposes I've been just allowing the app to
use whatever strigi-indexed info is already available in the store. In
this case Bangarang is only adding the rating, play count and last
played properties. Thanks to you and Vishesh for the nrl reference
though. I'll try to update the app to make sure it puts new
extractable data under a discardable graph.

I'd create a bug report but I'm not sure yet what the conditions are
that contribute to this data loss and which would allow for
duplication of the problem.  The other Bangarang developer, Stefan is
running into this problem more regularly. He has his media files on a
VFAT partition but it is not clear to him what is causing this either.

I'll be sure to pass on any info I gather.

peace and much respect,
Andrew
