Warren Dukes 918dc2ff22 ideas on how to make readDirectoryInfo and readSongInfo deal with already
existing db stuff, and implement a new List function that will be very
useful: insertInListBeforeNode()

1) non-blocking (for other clients) update
a) have two commands, one that blocks and returns updated info and another command that doesn't block
b) allow incremental updating, either a directory recursively or a specific song
c) fork on update
d) have a special case where if a update is in a command list, it only forks at the beginning of the list, and writes at the end of the command list
e) add an element to status stating the "update state"
f) store stuff to updated in a linked list prior to update fork
g) update child writes db file, parents reads db file when done (the msells/sbh alogrithm)
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.
2) rewrite interface stuff, specifically command list handling etc so its less of a hack and deals with the above update stuff better
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
