Android how to store MediaStore information about Songs/Artists/Albums/Genres/Playlists if they do not have stable ID's of some kind?
<p>My title says it all. Unfortunately, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27201489/android-is-mediastore-id-a-safe-way-to-store-information-about-pics-albums">this post</a> is causing havoc, as my app is built around the idea that the MediaStore IDs do not change, but apparently they all do.</p>

<p>How are developers supposed to store MediaStore information about Songs/Artists/Albums/Genres/Playlists if they do not have stable ID's of some kind?</p>

<p>Saving by name seems like a bad idea. The user can easily change the name of any of the above and throw a monkeywrench in your app.</p>
