I feel silly asking, but, does minimserver do automatic rescans?

Because the hard question is "what does trigger the rescan"

A regular cron ? But people want to listen their content right on the spot
Upload new content ? But what triggers the end of the upload ? When I rip CDs, I hope Minimserver wil not do a rescan at each new track...
The only way to tell that upload is finished is the person uploading saying "finished"

Which means we are back to the actual situation : rescan through minimwatch.

I agree, nothing wrong with the manual rescan system.
Rip, download an album, do some tagging, rescan whenever you want and enjoy!
Much better than the automated system that for instance Twonkey uses.
Sometimes it takes this server more than 10 minutes to rescan, quite annoying when you want enjoy your recent added music (rescan can be forced, but this takes much more effort than manual MinimServer rescan).
