Just thought I'd clarify ... 2) should read:

2) if a device has never been connected, and thus it's 'unique id' is
new to the database, when banshee scans the database for a record it 
will have no records returned.

Banshee could then take this event, and ask the user to associate a 
playlist with this 'unique id'. If the user declines, then add the 
'unique id' | (null) record to the database, so that the user isn't 
prompted every time.

So in the above scenario, if 'asd98ysdgpuhasd' connected, nothing would 
happen. If '087aouhw4'p9u8ase' connected, then it (could / would) be 
automatically synced to the "General" playlist. Likewise, for 
'0o8wruhas7yasdf' -> "Nano"

if say 'newid00382' was scanned, then the user would go through 2) 
exactly once.

...

Sorry for any confusion.

I wrote the earlier message before having any caffeine in my system this 
morning ;)




I'd be happy to write something up... well... aside from the fact that I 
have no time, am in the middle of exams, and have never written anything 
in C# :)

but maybe in the next few weeks, if someone gives me some direction 
(i.e. detecting a device using C#, accessing banshee.db using C#, etc)
