How to really-really rescan media library in Banshee?

Solution 1:

First, you must erase the file that save the library information, this file is:

~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db

After that, you can scan media in Banshee and you will have all the new metadata.

Solution 2:

Tracks in the file system queue aren't technically part of the media library. It's simply a way to enqueue tracks without having to import them. You may need to 'requeue' them after updating the metadata.

Solution 3:

I've found that a rescan doesn't 'find' anything with Banshee 2.0. However, if you import your media library once again (under media/import media), it will import only those files that are new. You won't get duplicates, as it compares the import against the existing files.
