It doesnt take THAT long to check. The first part is the worst. But
then again, all those files are nicely in order - almost nothing ever
gets deleted there, and each file is at least a couple megs in size.
The only updated info in that partition is the log of skipped songs,
the listing of songs to always skip, and the directory info itself,
every time a file is added.
