Dear community,

I'm searching for a possibility to control the SqueezeCenter music
library scan to prevent it scanning the files in a few directories.

The background is that I want to join my music library with that of my
brother, but some albums are contained in both libraries. The copy of
my brother's music library should also serve as a desaster recovery
backup.

Possible solutions would be:
- erase all duplicates (not an option due to the backup requirement)
- move all duplicates to a different directory structure not scanned by
SC (lot of work and updating the copy requires all the work to be
redone)
- set up a shadow directory structure with symlinks to the
non-duplicate albums
- ?? something I may have missed ??

The ideal way for me would be to have a "blacklist" of subdirectories
in the music folder that should be ignored when scanning the library,
or a file with a specific name (e.gl ".keepout") to prevent SC to scan
the folder.

Any idea would help.

TIA
