Creating a New Music library view

However, my LMS friend also said that if one edits the tags of only **some** files of an album, only those edited files would be displayed within New Music --> Albums view or even duplicate Albums with different contents (one having the unedited files, the other the retagged ones), but luckily not in the standard library views AFAIK. Ideally a software routine would be needed to avoid this situation. To resolve this situation in LMS now, apparently a complete new library scan is needed, deleting the existing database and building a new database from the ground up.

Some taggers provide the option to leave the date/time of the file unchanged when editing tags. This isn't recommended with MinimServer because it can mean that MinimServer doesn't read the updated tags in the file when doing a rescan because it thinks there haven't been any changes.

The issues you have described are some examples of the complexities involved in implementing a solution that "just works" as users would expect.
