My music scans would never end gracefully... In fact, they would never end... The clock would keep counting down until the next scheduled update (which was the default 3600 seconds from the iTunes tab), and then start over...getting stuck each and every time...
After a lot of heartache and troubleshooting, here is what I learned... * My music scans ran successfully if I uncheck the "Use iTunes" option * When using iTunes, it kept getting stuck on an iTunes audio book, which has the file extension m4b * After removing this file, it still got stuck, but on the next audio book, so I removed all audio books...and it scanned through...but got stuck again... * The next file was a WMA file... I decided that perhaps it was due to some DRM problems, so I removed all WMA DRM files... * Mission accomplished!!! So here are my questions to everyone here: 1. Is there a known problem with iTunes m4b files (audio books) during a scan that has the "Use iTunes" option checked? This seems silly, as I would think that there are many people that have audiobooks... I have never bought any...the half dozen I have are from free downloads from iTunes... 2. Is there a known problem with DRM WMA files during a scan that has the "Use iTunes" option checked? Again, I would think this would be silly... Yet it is happening to me...and does NOT happen when I have the "Use iTunes" option unchecked... For your information (in case it matters), I am using a Windows Vista 32bit OS with iTunes version 8 (the recently released version). Thanks all!!!
