It's this that took the time; essentially it applied the whole library over the top of your library, even if only one file had changed.

Is this correct? > It doesn't cause SqueezeCenter to do a full rescan; it will cause the whole of the MusicIP library data to be imported/merged into SqueezeCenter. >I don't remember it taking half hour to include one new album previously to >7.2? > Sounds about right for ~15,000 tracks. >And why isn't this patch doing anything for me unless I get it to do a full >scan. > If you tick "Read Song Data", the plugin will be working exactly as it used to work. If you untick "Read Song Data", the plugin will only attempt to get the MusicIP mixable status for any songs that exist in the SqueezeCenter database (i.e songs that have been read from the SqueezeCenter music library - Settings > Basic Settings > Music Folder). I'm guessing that you haven't set your music folder path up and used to depend on all music being imported from MusicIP.
