I asked something similar on the F-Spot list a few months back and it
was recommended that I try Mergeant.

I still haven't tried it, but I expect the same would work with
Banshee. I'm also sure there's a sqlite command, but I also don't know
it. :P

PS: What happens if you rename your files? They'll disappear from the
database, right? (This is me soliciting for an answer to my quesiton
of a few weeks ago. O:-)
