Interface Matcher

All Known Implementing Classes:

FilenameMatcher

public interface Matcher

A Matcher determines whether the fields in a FieldMap match an already existing track. This can be done via a number of ways - the most obvious is on FileName, but if a file is renamed this won't register as a rename but an add and delete. A better approach would be to store a checksum of the audio data in the file, as this doesn't change when the file is tagged or renamed.
