The aim of AFT is to keep metadata for a song when the file containing this 
song has been moved, right? So, provided that such a fingerprint is really 
unique up to a certain degree, I think it is a good thing to look at a file 
that has just been added, compute the fingerprint and see that this file 
contains the song we have stored metadata for and which apparently does not 
exist any more. This also enables Amarok to keep track of changes to the ID3 
tag (or other changes to the file, e.g. conversion from mp3 to ogg) that have 
been made outside the collection. Problems only arise when two files give the 
same fingerprint...

Bye
Tobias
