you know when you add new songs to a monitored folder and then you start windows media player and they get added to the media library almost instantly? how does it do that do you think?
i know how to monitor folders so it does that if the file is added to a folder while my app is running, but what about files that are added to a folder when the app isn't running?
do you think it uses a for loop and just checks every file in those folders against a database every time the app starts?
also, how exactly does wmp store all the data? it dosn't load all the tag info from the files every time it starts right???
