Yes, I'm sure there's no physical drive activity, and I've allowed
plenty of time for any real progress.

If it only scanned the folders that I chose to play, there would be no
problem. I usually don't have shortcuts within the album folders that I
play; the shortcuts are between folders at a higher level.

The system is perfectly happy to let me browse through folder shortcuts
and play whatever I wish, but only once its own change-triggered loop
has been forced to a halt and SC has been restarted.

Fortunately, whatever parameters are being checked for change (folder
size?) are being stored before the looping gets under way. This means
the system works happily without looping after the restart, until such
time as I change the contents of my music folders again, such as by
adding another album folder. 

Clearly all we need is a means to tell SC not to start this looping
process in the first place. Provide an option to leave the browsing
through the high level folders to the user.

Of course, if the system were programmed with possible loops in mind,
they could be avoided, couldn't they?
