But then you're going to be moaning about a 5-minute startup time as it
would need to scan all the folders to put them into a database (kind of
like a lite version of the existing rescan).

Windows provides no easy way to see if new folders were added to a
folder, especially when in the name of speed some programs do things
without updating date modified attributes of the file system.

And then what happens when you copy your newly ripp�d album over for a
quick listen?  You'll have to hit the rescan dirs button or restart the
server which'll take 5 minutes.

Folders are only there for people who can't be arsed to sort out their
tagging, or for quickly playing new stuff you haven't tagged.

If your collection is so big that browsing folders slows it all down
then do one of two things:

1 - Don't use browse folders, tag all your stuff correctly.

2 - Seperate your folders into subfolders, e.g. "D:\Music\Beatles -
White Album\" could become "D:\Music\B\Beatles\White Album"
