Dynamic Collection patch

[Jean-Tristan Chanegue]

Hi,

That's a pretty cool idea.

I've got an idea... but I don't know if it is a good one..

Is it possible to use a MD5 Hash or something like that to identify
uniquely the music collection ? It would be a great level of
abstraction, no ?

IMHO, it's not a pretty good idea to use something (the path or the
name of the file) to identify it. Maybe it would be better to use
something at the core of the music file... wouldn't it ?
