/*
|
||||
* A quick explanation of song cache hashes: Each song has two hashes; a hash of the
|
||||
* song path, and a hash of the song directory. The former is Song::GetCacheFilePath;
|
||||
* it stays the same if the contents of the directory change. The latter is
|
||||
* GetHashForDirectory(m_sSongDir), and changes on each modification.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The file hash is used as the cache filename. We don't want to use the directory
|
||||
* hash: if we do that, then we'll write a new cache file every time the song changes,
|
||||
* and they'll accumulate or we'll have to be careful to delete them.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The directory hash is stored in here, indexed by the song path, and used to determine
|
||||
* if a song has changed.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Another advantage of this system is that we can load songs from cache given only their
|
||||
* path; we don't have to actually look in the directory (to find out the directory hash)
|
||||
* in order to find the cache file.
