What's changed

Changed the terminology in the Music scan settings section to avoid possible misconceptions about the feature:

  • Scan mode has been renamed to Filter mode, because that's exactly what it is. It filters music found in the MediaStore, showing only from selected folders (inclusive mode) or from all but them (exclusive mode)
  • Extra scan folders has been renamed to Included folders.

Added

  • Ability to refresh MediaStore entries on app launch, or manually in the Music scan settings
  • Ability to scan folder to include audio in it and its subfolders to MediaStore in the same settings section

Note about scanning

Due to restrictions on access to external storage, scanning was divided into refreshing and actual scanning. Both actions are necessary to affect MediaStore (a special database on your device where the player gets tracks and information about them).

Refreshing allows you to rescan data that is already present in MediaStore (e.g. you deleted or changed a track, but the changes didn't take effect in the player, refresh should fix it).

Scanning a folder allows you to include the new data in MediaStore. Since you give access to a folder when you select it, the player can ask the system to scan the audio files in it and its subfolders (this is useful if the system has not yet scanned or is not going to scan the folder where you store your music).
