Asking mpd to do an 'update' on its music directory has never
completed for me - on an NFS-mounted 100GB+ music library.
This points to a real problem that needs to be fixed.
My library is about the same size, tho it likely has far fewer files (I
keep it all in Flac format), but I've never had

Fair enough. :)
In the meantime, is there any way of selectively removing
I agree that it's sometimes awkward that the update is modification time
based - for example, if you add replaygain tags to your whole library you
don't really want it all to end up with the same modification date. Perhaps
it's worth looking into adding a feature there, since something a lot

I know that people have asked why MPD doesn't use an SQL database in
the past, and I know also that the reason has been performance.
I'm not disputing this, and I don't want to start any kind of flame
