Bug Description
please let's increase the precision of the timestamp when a file was scanned and added to the library.
Right now it shows yy-mm-dd hh:mm which is not sufficient in the following scenario:
* add a few new albums to your library folder
* start Mixxx, rescan library, sort by 'Date Added'
= new tracks are grouped per folder (album), the track view is easy to read
* alter the tracks in view (change rating, delete tracks, ..)
* change to another library view, come back to Tracks
= per-album grouping is screwed up
= sort by 'Date Added' does NOT anymore group the tracks by folder (album)
A more precise timestamp would help here to easily restore the per-folder sorting.

agree with this. I would even be in favor of abusing the precise timing a little bit to our advantage: For tracks in a directory imported at the same time, set the timestamps and increase each file by one (one nanosecond or one nanosecond) for the alphabetical order of the files in the directory. That way sorting by date added would still maintain a predictable and useful order.
