If you were in the library view of music, you would see the option to update library. Because you are navigating through file view, it only gives you the option to update one directory at a time (scan for new content).

In Library View though, the ripped CD 'Unknown Title Unknown Artist' doesn't show up; just the CD's that were ripped with a connection up are shown. Indeed for these there's a context menu item 'Update Library', though I wouldn't know what that would do, since as far as I can see they have their info and thumbnails, and what have you, fine in the first place.

So my conclusion now is this just doesn't work -- XBMC will forever treat a CD ripped while being offline as an unnamed paria. That's a major deficiency in a program that's being touted as THE media player. Indeed everything looks nice about it, I was upbeat installing it and ready to give it a try, but this is a show stopper. I am really sorry to say that.
