Keeping your Mezzmo library up-to-date

Mezzmo has several ways to keep your files automatically up-to-date or to manually update it.

When you add one of your folders into your Mezzmo library using Add To Library → Add Folder, Mezzmo makes a 1:1 representation of the folder, its sub-folders and files.

One of the settings in the Folder Properties dialog is the Check for new files every checkbox and value. These settings let you tell Mezzmo how often to check this folder (and its sub-folders) for new files.

In the above, Mezzmo will scan though the folder(s) every 7 days. You can change this interval to minutes, hours or days.

Mezzmo Windows or Mezzmo server will scan your folder on disk and check for new files at your preferred interval. When it finds new files, they will be added into your Mezzmo library with full text metadata and artwork. Your active playlists and smart playlists are also updated at the same time. So, your Mezzmo library is ready for streaming all your files when you want it to.

Tip: After defining a refresh interval for your folders, you can exit Mezzmo Windows if do not wish to have it running all the time and simply let Mezzmo server look after the scanning of folders at your refresh intervals.
