I think a better alternative is for the server to monitor and
automatically spot changes to the music folder and to rescan it as and
when it sees those changes - you shouldn't need to manually poke it all
IMO.
Modern OS's include robust functions to monitor folders for changes
that don't rely on applications changing timestamps etc - I know at
least MAC OSX, Linux, BSD and Windows include this. Unfortunately the
mechanisms to implement this differ from OS to OS.
I've worked up a beta plugin to do this on Linux ('AutoRescan' - check
the plugins on the wiki if you're interested), and I'm planning on
widening it to support Windows as well when I get time.
