 Once registered as a storage, mAirListDB can ''synchronize'' your audio folder: It scans the folder recursively and creates a new data record in its library for all files found.

If you happened to delete files, they will appear in the right-hand side list, and you have the option to remove them from the Library. When you add more files to your audio folder, you can return to the Synchronize dialog at any time and repeat the steps.
