A quick and easy way to add one album
Unless I am missing something, when I rip a new album to my NAS, bliss basically has to rescan the whole library to find and process the new item. And with items stored on a NAS that can take a long time. I'd like to be able to direct it to the specific album so that it can get straight on with it, and stop processing when that one item is complete

"Rescan for new and changed files" will make this easier - https://twitter.com/bliss_music/status/826827957666721792
However, note it won't be as fast as identifying an individual album to add - it still scans for updated files, as well as added ones. The chief advantage is that existing albums which haven't been updated won't be rescanned.

Any new files added should be picked up a few minutes after they were added, automatically. This can depend on the filesystem and the operating systems involved. In this case, what OS is bliss running on?
Thinking about it, this may not work on OS X so well because it uses "fsevents" which, I believe, only notifies file updates that originate from the OS X machine itself. E.g. if you ripped a CD from the OS X machine to the NAS then bliss should pick this up. If you used another machine to rip the CD to the NAS it would not show up until rescan.
