I find the new changed scanning to be quite fast. On my old P4
Windows server a full scan of 21,000 Flac files takes about 26 minutes.
A new changed scan takes only 2:20.
Your idea has been suggested before and even accepted by many people as
a good idea. Something like: you browse through

What do you mean with the new changed scanning ? I'm using
SqueezeCenter 7.1 and have ~54 000 tracks on an external harddrive. A
regular scanning update of this takes up to 2 hours (depending on what
else I'm doing on the computer, Windows Vista), and this I have to wait

There are two scanning options (plus the playlist only scan):
- Look for new and changed music
- Clear library and rescan everything
The first is the new changed scan. The second one starts all over
from scratch and takes a lot longer.
Yes and the first

It may be the external drive that's killing you. Is it either USB or
Firewire 400? If so, internal drives would probably make scanning a
lot faster. Another option, though, is an external drive with an eSATA
interface, which can be just as fast as an internal.

..by the way Jim do you use MusicIP integration with SC ? When looking
at the times reported for the scanning, it seems it is clearly the
MusicIP database that takes 95 % of the scanning time.
No, I don't. It looks like the discussion in this bug report may be
relevant:

Thanks Jim! Yes that seems to be something similar for sure.

Hi, I was looking for the same thing.
Isn't this the same as Browse Music Folder to the new album? It's then
added to the library.

Hi Michael!
But do you really get the tags and the covers and the MusicIP info
embedded in the files read by doing that?

I'm wrong ?
I'm sorry, no. Just the tags. MIP should be updated in regular intervals (as
defined in SC's MIP settings).

Hi!
Why isn't it possible as an aoption to specify a directory to scan when
one one wants to update ones's music database. As it is now we have the
options of deleting all and rescan all or look for new or changed music
in the full database. Both these options take loads of time if you have
a
Brilliant Idea.

Hi, I was looking for the same thing. I have the same problem with a
huge library that takes forever to rescan just to add one new album.
I'm running the server on a linux box and noticed another file in the
same directory as the server:
/usr/libexec/squeezecenter-scanner
