in a way yes, folder paths written in the path_a statement are those which ARE scanned. but as this list of folders is MUCH LONGER after the initial install of KAGU, following my instructions will practically "narrow down" paths. here is the original long path_a statement:

path_a = '/media/mmc1','/media/mmc2','/media/mmc3','/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds','/Volumes/OSX/iTunes']
