Is the music local to your system? (Ie, on your hard drive?) Or is it on a USB or NAS device? If it's USB, make sure it is USB2 and that your computer really supports USB2... USB1 is painfully slow. (Slow enough that was actually the reason for my last server upgrade... USB1 backups took days...) If it is a NAS device, try to have it wired to the server, not on a wireless link. For a file-here-or-there sorts of access, sure, wireless would work. For "please open a few thousand files and read a few hundred bytes from each" sorts of access, that will really kill a wireless connection quickly... and thats the sort of activity a scan would do. I think it may be possible that other things can interfere: notably virus scanners. Some like to monitor every file opened and scan it just to make sure nothing is bad in an mp3... adding a virus scan to each of the thousands of files would be... painful. Are you running the same antivirus software on both machines with the same settings? The noisiest, er, most verbose posters here have huge collections (actually someone posted over the summer that they are close to 100,000 tracks.... more of a packrat than I am...) and you can bet they would be screaming if it was normal for a rescan to take too long, so whatever the hangup on your setup is there is a fix. (Okay, you -could- confiscate the kids machine... but that would probably create a revolution, so we'll hold that for a last ditch thing...) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31095 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
