Tricky maybe, but certainly not rare. You have a track or tracks where you misspelled the album (or artist or genre) name, you correct the spelling and after the server picks up the changes you expect the misspelled item to be removed from the database. > It's more troubling that a full scan is pretty much nonfunctional unless > it is done totally outside of a listening window. (Which may be hard > for some people with very large collections on a slower device.) Why is that troubling? It's always been that way. It's the strange approach to doing clear/rescans with the SQLite database that even allows you to still listen while the scan is taking place. It would be difficult to do the same with MySQL, as the scanner would need system-level privileges on the MySQL server to add and drop databases. Ultimately I'm sure the goal is to never require a full clear/rescan. Maybe even to the point where it can safely be removed as a scanning option. Any modifications to the library should result in a library database identical to that created by doing a full scan from scratch. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76850 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
