Yes, but the order of the scans is:
1) make pass through file structure
2) parse playlists
3) import from MIP
4) get cover art

If I leave the music folder blank, yeah, it will work except for the
tracks that MIP ignores...   and I would lose the Browse Music Folder,
which I would hate to do.  I'd give up MIP first.

It just seems that actually opening and reparsing the tags shouldnt be
going on... it did it during the first pass.

I guess this is much the same as parsing playlists, but just on a much
larger scale for me (since I have no playlists).  Shouldnt looking up
the file URL in the db and finding a result mean "forget parsing the
tags again"?  Or is setting checkMTime before calling updateOrCreate
helpful?  (I havent finished my first cup of coffee, so trying to wrap
my head around race conditions is not gonna happen.)

With 16k some tracks, it is taking 30 minutes or so to import from MIP,
which it does even on a scan-for-new.... that's on top of the usual scan
time.

Does iTunes scanning re-open and rescan every file?  That seems really
inefficient...
