It's probably worth bringing this to the dev list and discussing. Persistence of some id across DB scans would be great, but it's not easy. Some options: 1. Fingerprint - difficult to make unique. Can change if tags change (unless you only fingerprint the audio part of the file 2. Something from the filesystem, e.g. inode. - difficult to make platform-independent; can change if file moved 3. Writing a tag to the file containing the Slimserver ID, e.g. TXXX comment in ID3, SLIMSERVERID in flac, etc. - only works for physical files (not streams, etc.), requires write access to music library. I suggest you head over to devel and discuss it there.
