Re: Default info methods

[Fran Burstall (Gmail)]

Would the attached patch do the job?  It adds a prefix argument to
emms-cache-sync which queues all tracks in the cache for update:
  (emms-cache-sync 1)
It won't clean any info cruft from the cache though, except removed
files.  emms-cache-reset would obviously do that.
Maybe we can later provide a function that would go through
emms-source-file-default-directory and do the right thing: add new
files, remove deleted files and update modified files in the cache.

This would certainly work for me.

Another thing is browser refresh.  EMMS playlists get their infos
automatically refreshed (which is nice), but the browser must be
refreshed manually by rebuilding it eg. after emms-cache-sync.
