Hmm, just using the filename would worry me, I have a lot of tracks with the same name and even metadata, usually got the crappy version first (p2p, friend, nasty vinyl rip) then the high-quality, legit version. Timestamps quickly go haywire even if you don't travel across timezones with an NTP-synced laptop. I wouldn't trust a file system's meta-data anyway since the medium could be passed from someone else at the last minute. I don't think git uses either. Before a gig I really need to be absolutely sure the file I'm queuing doesn't have a huge glitch half-way through or is the low-gain version that'll come out crap. Presumably embedding metadata isn't on the table due to WAV/AIFF support? Wrt to moving files, IIRC Traktor "solved" it by requiring you to do it from within their UI or it'd pop a "where is it now" dialog, was a pain in the ass though. -- p ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
