Hi,

the full PC based Squeezebox Server requests one to specify a folder to
look for music. Therefore, I'm wonderiung whether there's a chance to
direct the built-in server of the SB Touch to a certain folder of the
USB HDD instead of scanning the whole file system ?
The UI doesn't allow for such a setting, right ? But how about the
server code itself. It's probably related to the full server code base
and the root path might be kind of flexible. I mean, a single conf
option and not hard-coded multiple times. Did anyone look into such
kind of tweaks ?

There are several use cases, where it would be very advantageous to
limit the scan range on the USB HDD:
- reduce the RAM requirement of the built in server in case of large
collections. (Just a base part is added into the database, the rest
goes via direct folder access)
- prevent files with bogus tags being injected into the database.
(I've got hundreds of demo/promo downloads collected over many years,
which exhibit no or non-sense tags. Until I find some time to fix the
tags .... ).
