You can do this, but then it is necessary to rewrite a lot of code. I
have implemented my privat caching code directly in recordings.c to keep
changes to other parts to a minimum. For a new version it may be
possible to do this. But caching is still needed. If you have a lot of
recordings in a genre directory you run into the same problem. So as
Klaus suggests, stay with the complete tree, cache it, and do selected
updates depending on the actions performed.
