I am yet again trying AS , I have a couple of basic questions. My library is around 100k tracks over 3 folders, I have included 2 folders so far as you can see. I am coming from a well maintained JRiver library.
My PC is a standalone desktop and not powered 24/7 so when I start it AS autostarts
I have “rescan at startup” set to yes
When I start it runs the HDD for literally hours, I understand once on a new library but not every time
Set to Auto will AS pick up automatically any new files in the 2 folders I have specified ?
Do you use Rescan folders as a maintenance task once in a while and Auto takes care of incremental additions. It’s not clear.
Where do all the Russian and Chinese characters come from and how can I stop them ?
I have a fairly well groomed library from a previous system and am pretty sure the don’t exist in MY tags are they coming from MusicBrainz?
When you sync a folder with Audirvāna, it will always sync the content inside the folders you selected, which means if you add new tracks or remove tracks in those folders, the folder will see them and will sync the changes. And the Rescan folders at each start is to make sure we get all the changes when you reopen Audirvāna.
Looks like it’s picking up the Greek from the Composer in MusicBrainz ? Composer in my tags will be empty , I only populate Composer for Classical works , I deliberately delete for Rock etc (Non Classical) to avoid clutter in Classical Views
