I am currently in the process of organising all my Mp3’s and this involves putting them into a subdirectory called “unsorted” (which lives in mp3 directory too) where they live untill I have updated all their id3 tags. Thereafter I move them to theier own artist folder in the mp3 directory.
My question is does this cause my mt-daapd database to become bloated when they are moved or does it also remove entries when files go missing?
If it does cause problems how od I go about purging the database? I am using the latest nightlies build.
On a side note (but I think this is related) what is the difference in the web interface between “start scan” and “start full scan”

It removes stuff from the database, and every startup the server does a “vacuum”, which reclaims space from the database, so the database gets shrunk every startup.

A regular scan just kicks off a regular incremental scan — one that looks for files that have been changed and updates the database for changed files.
A full scan empties the database and builds it from scratch, so that it re-imports data from every song.
