It may not be working this way if you are doing something like changing the 
capitalization of an artist or something like that. Basically I just 
compare the filesize in the database with the filesize of the file to 
determine if it needs to be reimported. As such, changes that don't result 
in a different number of characters aren't reimported (the filesize stays 
the same). All the other ways of detecting the changes are just too damned 
slow (md5 or parsing the tags), but I suppose I could add a 'Thorough' 
option to use a more aggressive scanning method to reimport.
