RE: Re-tagged items appearing in Recently Added
It looks like the additional albums you weren't expecting might have had their folder names changed. As it says in this section:

When doing a library scan, MinimServer uses the absolute file path of each audio file or playlist file to determine whether the file has been added or changed since the last scan. This means that renaming a file will cause it to be treated as a newly added file and appear at the top of the "recently added" list.

Renaming a folder changes the absolute file path of every file in the renamed folder and its subfolders. This causes all these files to be treated as having been recently added.

Retagging a file does not change its absolute file path and this should not cause the file to be treated as having been recently added.

You could work around the issue with renamed folders as follows:

1) Before you rename a folder, make a copy of added-dates.txt
2) Rename the folder and rescan
3) Restore your copy of added-dates.txt and rescan again

This will prevent the renamed folder showing in the recently added list.
