[slinkelist] What does CDJ do with MP3's?

When you add a mp3 file to CDJ it tries to read the ID3 tag in the file,
trying to get the artist, and song title, it causes a slight delay in adding
the file.

CDJ creates a link to the file.  If you move, delete, or rename the file,
CDJ will be unable to find it, and usually just doesn't play the file, but
it continues to remain in the database until you remove the entry yourself.
