Prior to 7.9 if I was just changing just the tags on an album but not file names, I would remove the re-tagged album sub-directory from the music library hierarchy, rescan for changed and new to remove it from the database, move it back into the music library and rescan for changed and new again. That almost always produced the desired results and takes a small fraction of the time of a full rescan and I can continue to listen to other music while it's happening. But recently I've found that I can re-tag, bump the timestamp +5 seconds (so it gets identified as changed by the scanner but keeps the album in the correct place in New Music) and rescan for changed and new without any problems. I've done lots of clean-up of artist names, genres and years and it's worked well. But this may be the first time since using 7.9 I only changed the album name and specifically, one letter in the name from lower to upper case.
