I have copied a few new albums (MP3, properly id3-tagged) into my local music folder, unfortunately they don't show up in Noise.
Restarting Noise didn't help either, even restarting elementary OS had no effect.

How do I enforce a rescan of my music library in Noise?

Run this command in terminal:

rm ~/.local/share/noise/*.db

Then re-scan your music library.

  • are the files *.db the cache of where the music is? And what do you mean by "Then re-scan your music library."? – user3 Jul 8 '15 at 9:55
  • @Tim * .db files are the base of music Noise. After removing Noise again ask to rescan your music library. Your way of doing almost the same thing. – crow Jul 8 '15 at 10:08
  • could you edit to explain that because the way the answer reads is "do this" and then "do what you want to do and are asking about" ;-) I can link my answer if you want? – user3 Jul 8 '15 at 10:09
  • @Tim I'm not against :) – crow Jul 8 '15 at 10:17

Open Music, and click Settings:

Then change the location to Desktop, then back to Music.
