Scan audio files even when they have only some/no tags

[hhm0]

At present, files within the scanned directories are not added if they are missing some tags (e.g. artist) or have no tags whatsoever.

It would be awesome if these could be included, even if that means that they wouldn't show up in the id3 methods, since they can still show up in the non-id3 methods.

The filename can be used as a title (where the title tag is not present), since every file will have a filename.

Thanks for the wonderful project!

that's a blocker for me adopting this project as well.. i know i could reformat my whole library, but i have a messy "incoming" directory that i cannot possibly imagine going through at that point, unfortunately. :/

The scanner should now accept files without metadata or with missing tags.
Missing tags default to:

• track title: filename
• artist: "[unknown]"
• album: "[non-album tracks]"

Setting default values was easier than allowing null values (no database schema change) and allow the files to be accessible whatever browsing method you use.

Thanks so much for implementing this! :-)
