feature request: skip artist/album from full lib scan with condition #58

Hi there!

I think its make sense to be able to skip folder/artist/album if

just do not want to search
already found all lyrics
etc

adding simple file .lrcget_ignore will be enough for my case

The main idea if I add 1 new album it seems like I need to do full lib re-scan to get new lyrics

thanks

I think the problem here is that LRCGET currently have to do a full rescan each time there is any changes (new files added or deleted in music folder) and it obviously takes too much time, especially for large library.

I'm still thinking about how we can improve this, maybe implementing some kind of diffing algorithm together with checking file hash.

The .lrcget_ignore file idea seems a bit overkill for me, but we certainly can consider it later.
