I wrote a little VB script for myself that bumps the file times by one
second so that a new changed scan will pick up the changes.
Care to share, so I don't have to write one from scratch?! That's a
great solution as it should keep everything in the correct order.

well, in Linux I use 'easytag' which is quite good and has an option to
update the modification time of the files as well. But you are probably
a Windows user. AFAIK, mp3tag should also update the file date, doesn't
it?

It's an option on mp3tag , so the user can set it the way he/she
chooses. I don't remember what the default is, but it's an easy setting
to find. I have mine set to update the timestamp after editing tags.

Hello,
I am wondering what the Rescan function 'Look for new and changed
music' actually does?
If I change tags on various tracks in my library, will the changes be
picked up by using the 'Look for new and changed music'?
I already tried a test of re-tagging the genre on about 1000 songs.
My guess is that the program you are using for tagging may not be
updating the file last modified attribute which is what I am assuming
SC is looking at. Many times you don't want the last modified to be
changed, particularly if you don't want to have all of your re-tagged
files to show up in

You are right, the tagging prog I use is set up not to change dates
when tags are changed. I really would prefer to keep it that way so I
guess a full purge and rescan is the only way to get changes read into
the SB server.
Not necessarily. I wrote a little VB script
Thanks JJZolx,
Did not consider that, probably because I am not a programmer. :^)
I could definitely live with that method for quick rescans of re-tagged
files and every so often do a purge and scan to get rid of any leftover
'old' data.
Could there be a tagging software that employs this
