That's true, but only if automatic scanning is turned on, and even then it doesn't always work.

I assume you're referring to "Update Automatically".

When you say it doesn't work, are you suggesting there's a bug, or it's not designed to work in all cases.

If it's the first, then Directory Cache certainly has a purpose outside of file browsing...

lalittle:
On the subject of "Update Now" feature, this has NEVER worked for me.  If I use the "Update" function, the database becomes completely corrupt, with songs listing out of order, some of which include track numbers while others don't.  A new "initialize" does not work, nor does deleting the database files (.tcd files if memory serves.)  In order to get the database correct again, I have to completley delete the rockbox folder and start over again.

It's probably a bug, but I don't really mind it because I always do a manual update every time I add more music.

Dircache is required for the auto update of the database to find deleted files.
