Manual music scanning

 

Is there a command to manually scan for music? I.e. - I have my music on an ext4 partition, located on the external sdcard of my M10, which I manually mount after boot. The system by default scans the /home/phablet/Music folder on startup, then stops scanning after that. I've been manually mounting my ext4 partition from the sdcard over the /home/phablet/Music folder.

This works fine for Documents (i.e., have some 30gb of material mounted under /home/phablet/Documents), but not so well for Music. Is there any way for me to get my tablet to rescan for music?

Yep, I'm aware that the device "isn't supposed to work like that!", however because of all the restrictions and difficulties of accessing material from the sdcard, you have people like myself finding other options.

Cheers,

Mitchell
