I really don't see why it is so hard to incorporate this functionality.
Wouldn't it be a simple matter of keeping a list of
PATH_TO_MUSIC_FOLDERS in the database, or in the config file ... the
scanner just iterates through the list as it completes the scanning
process until it's out of paths...

Another benefit of this is that you can then build functionality around
this like segregated music libraries (Wife's stuff, My Stuff, Party
Stuff, whatever...), without having to go through the trouble of
tagging all your songs in some way to help you identify them.

You can envision having the UI incorporate some functionality like,
"Play only songs from drive X:\" or, "Click to select folders to
include in the playlist", etc...
