Mike;

I had a similiar problem that I posted about and engaged support also.
I keep my folders named as "Lastname, Firstname" (for example "Bach,
J.S.") and  on occassion folder would not be recgnized and I would get
a link to download a song.  I did some debugging and can tell you that
"browse folders" is not limited to system file browsing only. Previous
scans data is kept in slimserver.track and slimserver.artist tables and
directories are not recognized if you scanned artist with same name as a
directory name. At least this is how this worked for me.

I don't need to scan and did the follownig to get rid of the problem

- eliminate scanning by renaming scan.pl to something like scan.pl.bkp
- remomve formatting that attempts to guess the artist based on the
directory/file name. Server options.
- delete all data from slimserver database in MySql
- delete Cache 
- restart slimserver 

When you browse folders new entries will be made to the
slimserver.tracks table but scanned data will not be able to mess up
file recognition.
