When I add a new directory to my song library, Rhythmbox adds the new

To my knowledge, Rhythmbox has to parse a whole song to catch all
meta-information embedded in eg id3 tags.
AFAICT libmad doesn't even contain any code to extract metadata out of
mp3 files:

"id3" i's mentioned in the Debian changelog but nowhere in libmad's
source code. Thus, having this library taking up 50% of the CPU time
while not playing music is strange.
I don't understand your bug, you seem to be saying something in the
lines of "you're calling a decoder but you don't need to", and I
But you *do* understand it :-).
certainly don't think this is the case,
It is.
or maybe you mean "you should
improved import performance", and in this case I suggest you provide a
patch.
Sorry, no patch for now, just whining. It would be excellent if you
could forward this upstream though.
