OK, well this got me curious, and those figures were off the top of my head, so I timed it: "Look for new and changed music": 1:06 "Clear library and rescan everything": 2:39 (so I was a little optimistic!) But still, based on what it's doing, scanning 2259 items looking for artist, album, title, genre, ReplayGain data, artwork, etc. I don't think this is bad at all. Again, just try Mp3tag or foobar2000 and those take a while to load all this data too. You can see what's going on if you look at your processor load. A "Look for new" must scan the library looking for recently modified files. It loads my processor up 50-60%. A "Clear library" scan first conducts a very disk-intensive operation, obviously looking at every file. This loads the processor up 40-50%. Then after a time the disk access ends and the processor loads up 50-60% like in a "Look for new" scan. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22772 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
