Adding new recordings

I am new to MinimServer, having successfully (with the help of my dealer here in Luxembourg, Guy of l'Audiophile, marvellous) installed MinimServer on my QNAP 269 Pro last week. I have a nice job in front of me to sort out the 1500 albums that I have on the system. I need to re-tag a lot of files to have consistent data across the collection. Plenty of help already on the forum.

But just now I have a simpler problem. Today I ripped 6 cds using dbPoweramp. I can see them in my old Twonky system, but not in the MinimServer. So the files are on the QNAP, but MinimServer is not finding them. MinimServer seems to have had no problem to find the files that were saved prior to installing MinimServer, but it is not seeing new files added afterwards.

What do I need to do?

Grateful for all assistance.......

Best regards,

Gonzalez

Do you have MinimWatch installed on another computer? If so, select Restart from the minim icon. This will rescan your content directories and pick up your newly added files. The rescan will be a lot quicker than your initial scan because MinimServer uses a cache for previously scanned files. Also, you can start some music playing before you select Restart and the music will continue to play while MinmServer rescans your files.

If you don't have MinimWatch installed on another computer, you need to install MinimWatch to use MinimServer effectively. You can find instructions for installing MinimWatch on this page.
