The fact that scanning makes the server useless is, IMO, the number one problem with SlimServer. I don't mind the length of time it takes to scan, but I should be able to access the server and listen to the music while this is occurring. I'd like to see this fixed before another single feature goes in.

Hi,

I am very new to the Slim System. In fact I just installed a squeezbox3
and slimserver on windows just a couple of days ago. first time.

so here is a problem right away: slimserver needs several hours to scan
my library (816 albums with 9443 songs by 225 artists). During that time
the whole system becomes very unresponsive, slim.exe taking up 90-100%
of the CPU. It gets so tough that I can't even log into the web
interface anymore (so: no, I can not look at the debugging logs). The
first couple of times I thought the software is choking on something
and just crashes, but after like 2.5 hours it suddenly finished.
Now... the REscan, which should take less time to my understanding, is
taking just as long.

There must be a bug or something in my music files that the server
doesn't like.

Any ideas? Any help appreciated.

Thanks!
