The newly added section might be a bit cryptic to som users. In

'If you find that most of your music is recognised by Amarok, but some folders are not properly picked up, 'touch' those folders, and the next scan will index them.',

I would suggest that the last two subparagraphs (from 'touch') are replaced by something like

open a console and type touch folder where folder is the path to the folder, and then restart Amarok.

(or whatever it takes to force a rescan). Is that too much detail? --Claus chr 18 September 2009
