If you type "scanner" as I suggested you should be given a "usage" dump
which lists all the arguments.
You can point it at a specific directory, though I find (on my
non-itunes system) that just letting it scan the whole thing doesn't
take too long (it looks for changed files).

I meant details of the arguments - your suggestion made it sound like
you can direct scanner to look in a particular place, rather than
scanning everything.

Get a command prompt, go to the slimserver directory, type "scanner"

Browse Music Folder isn't available when the database is integrated with
iTunes.
Where can I find info on invoking scanner from the command line?

The usual fix for getting to new music quickly is just to use the Browse
Music Folder facility to browse to where the music is - that forces a
scan of just that directory and adds the music to the database.
Or you can force a rescan any time you like using the web interface
(server settings). Or
I download some new music (legally, of course), and want to play it on
my Squeezebox quickly, but it doesn't appear on the SlimServer database
for ages! Why? I want to play it!!
When does scanner.exe get invoked automatically and why does it take so
long to run? What can I do to speed this proces
