Simple problem, but I couldn't find the answer...

How is a new FID generated ?
Is it done by the player or by emplode ?
As far as I can see it's "simply" going up,
so were is the last used valued stored ?

To put it in other words:
If I add a song "manually" where do I find the FID for it and
how do I make sure it isn't overwritten by the next upload ?!

And can I force the player to recreate it's Database ?
I don't want to delete it and have a full rebuild,
just an incremental build...

It's done by Emplode (or Emptool, or JEmpeg), which "simply" use the lowest number that's not already in use.

You can use any unused fid, and subsequent uploads will automatically avoid it.

You have to do a full rebuild; there's no code for incremental building.
