How to rescan from iTunes
With help from the Forum, I have got my iTunes music library, indexed by Composer, from my PC onto a Zen server with MinimServer as the UPnP software. It is now easy to find everything and the music plays perfectly on my Naim Uniti via the Naim control point on an iPad.

That tempts me to put lots more music into the system. I added a few more CDs to iTunes and asked MinimServer to rescan a couple of times. The log (verbose) shows what looks like a complete rescan of the original library. I can't see any of the new music though.

The "Reading Audio Files" section in the Minim user guide refers to the contentDir property, which is now /storage/music/flac, and the mergeFolderAlbums property, which is set to true. Those seem to be the defaults to enable rescans of changes to the music library.

My PC says that the location of Music is C:\Users\Owner\Music
and the location of my iTunes music is \\USER-PC\Users\Owner\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.

I tried putting those locations in the contentDir but got a red message saying "not an absolute path".

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
