So for synchronization what you do is the following:

SELECT MAX (tracker:modified (?r)) { ?r a rdfs:Resource }

And you store the result

Then next time you start your application, to get the newly added and
the changed resources you put that stored value in $stored and you do:

SELECT ?r { ?r a nfo:Audio .
   FILTER (tracker:modified (?r) > $stored) }


For synchronization, above method works well for media files in rootfs but not in removable media.
When I insert my usb stick again without any modification,  MAX (tracker:modifed(?r)) value is increased again. 

Is it a bug?


Note that this is for nfo:Audio, but it works with any rdfs:Resource

If GraphUpdated works for you, then indeed use that.
