i suppose that all depends. consider the process: when i rip with EAC, it first creates a wav, then two temp files, [one wav, one mp3], then finally a mp3. what happens in that scenario? does LMS keep rescanning the files as they are created and grow in size and change? how much CPU is it grabbing to do that while i try to rip and encode? but even besides all that, unless its time sensitive (which sometimes it is), i am prone to not want anything scanned until i do have it "tagged up" and i'm ready for it to be scanned. the way i envision this, is having the option "on" MOST of the time, but "off" when i rip. that way my 'permanent library' tag edits, file moves, etc are updated when i make them, but i can still have LMS not interfere or scan when i don't want it to (eg. when ripping), esp for music i don't want entered prematurely into the library. this becomes all the more crucial btw, if you guys ever implement that proposed "forever record" where the DB tracks everything it ever scanned and "uniquely" IDs them. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.4b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86894 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
