Support ID3 refreshes on subsets of the music library

Please support the "Rescan Music Library" operation on subsets of the music library. If all I've done is update a few ID3 tags on a few albums, there should be no need to rescan the whole music library, just the albums whose tags have changed. For example, on the web page for a given album (Home / Browse Albums / name-of-album), if you could do a "Rescan" operation to rescan only the albums by that particular artist, that would be really convenient for those of us who maintain our ID3 tags frequently.
Currently in 6.2, Browse Music Folder detects changes within each folder and will rescan the contents of that folder. I'd recommend trying it out.
Yes - please use Browse Music Folder for this functionality.
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
