Voted. Tiny SC is always based on the current SBS code afaik and normal SBS does not auto scan except for the initial install if you don't want to . The special mods to make it TinySC is also responsible for the scan behavior. When you BMF it scans that folder to get the tags for presentation on the UI and determine the audioformat. That would be minimum. A desktop software does something similar it does present title and artist if such info is in the file even if you play only one file . But a god user selectable option would be to opt for that info gathered during BMF would not be present in a the permanent dB . I voted because in a normal SBS scan problems are always possible to fix (tidy up your tags, yes ;) ). But TinySC simply crashes and hits the memory limit of Touch on files that would work just fine in a large install ? And the USB SD card options just begs for being used for temporary collections from friends etc . Now i use spotify , before spotify I put friends music in a folder in my library and BMF'ed to it, that works fast enough on a standalone server to not upset anyone not on speed . Letting friends use the USB on the Touch would spare me the effort to have another computer except the server running on such occasion -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
