FULL ACK
Banshee should at least background scan the Media folder and list 
changed tracks in a seperate Source.
There are 3 possibilities:
- A new file was found - opt to submit a track to the database
- The metadata of a file was changed - opt to override the metadata in 
Banshee
- A file was deleted - opt to either remove the track from Banshee or to 
reassign to a different track.
