What isn't working, is it the local database which only stores artist/album images or is it MPDs track database? if it is the MPD trackdatabase you just need to Select "Settings->Update database".
Tried that, it's not that.

Nothing as fancy.

When SMPC starts, I choose files -> NAS -> mjt music.

NAS is for my desktop's samba share, named mjt music.

I get a list of my flacs, which I rip with a naming scheme that doesn't need metadata. The directory structure is this:
Artist/AlbumYear-AlbumName
So no metadata required, that structure is all I need. It even matches how I store the CDs on shelves.

When I rip a new CD onto my samba share - the NAS from SMPC's point of view - it does not show up in the list. In other words, I see only the albums I had there when I first set this up.

Is that a clearer explanation?

So my original question was whether or not the "files" list is cached in some way - either on SMPC's or samba's part? Can that be forcibly refreshed?

Thanks!
