h) when reading directory db and checking for deleted, new, or changed stuff, assume all info is sorted (so we can deterimine if its new very quickly without searching through lists of stuff every time). Also, for new stuff, insert it with insertInListBeforeNode() function, to keep lists sorted.
3) crosslink "list" stuff, for example, artists are crosslinked to alubms and vice versa, this way you can do list album artists or list artist albums, this will make life easier when we add genre and other metadata
