Hello, I am a novice user (and hopefully developer) and I was wondering
the same about something like a "synced source" that could be able to
resync by demand, removing deleted songs and adding new songs.

I wonder, isn't there any way or workaround for doing this? I will see
if I can develop it, but I don't know how much time it will take for me.
I would like to hear any comments that could anyone have regarding this
feature, for example, should it be made as a plugin or an option in the
core?
