I was just playing a track from an album I just bought, and I was able

playing the thing. I don't think I've ever seen a program that can do
that (and I imagine it won't work on windows).
I saw the tracks grey out briefly in the playlist and then
un-grey-out, as if it was detecting the move!
Nice.
Renaming a file does not change it's inode number.
A file that is opened by the application will still be accessible
to that application even if it's name changes while the application
still has the file opened, provided that the folder stays within
the same partition.
Moving the directory where the file lives to a different location
within the same partition, still leaves the directory's inode and the
file's inode unchanged.
Hope this helps.
