Centrafuse works with a pre generated media database. and i don't like it.
My first idea was to save the database, and check at startup if any change was done, to update my database. But checking the change take the same time as construct the database

. I don't like the idea of pressing a button somewhere to create the database like centrafuse. i have to found a middle between those two solution.
