Yes, you could check archive bits, and providing you are on windows, and you have a tagger tool that sets it, that would work. It's not cross platform, and if you rip a new CD and don't need to check tags, you'll also need a ripper that sets the archive bit correctly. If you do backups that mess with the archive bit, that will also affect your next rescan. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
