I just got a Squeezebox and am amazed at how long it takes to scan or
recan music. I have taken out every file or playlist that could
possibly be the culprit and it hasn't made any difference.
Based on what? Use the d_scan debug function to find culprits.
What I did
find that might have made some difference, though I am not positive,
was to point the search to a less specific target. I had it going to
\\NAS\share\music and changed it to just \\NAS\share. It actually has
to search MORE folders, none of which contain music, but it seemed to
go faster. Though "faster" is relative. It is still extraordinarily
slow. Is there a fix for this, or something in the works?
This seems improbable. Also, some quantitative information about fast, slow, number of songs, and the hardware in question would be helpful. If you've filled a terabyte NAS with MP3s and are using a low-power EPIA to scan it, your performance will not be something I'd call good, though there are people doing just that quite happily. Apparently they do something else during the scan, like sleeping or going outside or something :)
