Filemon gathers a lots of data and slows things down a bit. Scanning the
library will generate a lot of info but I think you start monitoring
when you are sure no files are corrupted and then initiate scanning.
It would work best if you can reproduce the problem while scanning a

This might sound like a silly question, but please bear with me: how do
you know the files change size? Did you note the size of each file on
your hard drive

I looked at the bug today and it appears to be closed. Did this get
fixed?
I did a couple tests this morning. I ran a rescan of the libary (Clear
Libary and rescan everything). Once finished I again had a new folder
under ARTWORK that says NO ALBUM. Inside were a number of .wma files

Wow! I will have to really sit down and read through this whole thing
before I can reply to all.
However, yes, I copy the uncorrupted files back to the machine with
SlimServer. I can play the uncorrupted files just fine in Windows
Media Player and also in SlimServer when I first copy them
I believe a bug report has been created.
This is a truly annoying buy. I was just demonstrating the SB3 to my
friend, and it skipped again! This is most annoying with classical
music.

Yes, I am able to fix the issue if I convert the .wma files as well. I
have converted a number the albums that were .wma to .mp3 and the issue
goes away.

This could be an issue with reading the metadata and obtaining the
correct audio offsets. It could be an issue with our WMA decoder. It
could be something else.
Also - SlimServer _never_ writes out to your music files in any way.
