I'm sure it is. Does the files list use it implicitly or is it only used if I build it with metadata? Because I'm still not using a database, only a files list.

It took a long time, restarting both SMPC and samba from time to time, but the discs I ripped eventually showed up in the list all by themselves.

Maybe I'll read the SMPC code myself to see if there's caching in the file list, because everyone else seems fixated on the database
