I apologize if I've missed something earlier that explained why this is
taking so long...

Just as a benchmark, on a laptop with a 1.7 Ghz processor and processor
use set to "normal" in MusicIP, I have scanned nearly 2,000 tracks in
under 12 hours. Current rate is ~ 6 tracks/minute (approx 5 Gb FLAC
files/hr). While websurfing.

I do have the tracks on my internal hard drive, and my web connection
is good (but wireless). My music is not all pop, but is all commercial
albums. Relatively few are super obscure, but many are not too
mainstream.

I did have a period at the beginning of the alphabet (going in
alphabetical order by artist) where it took several hours to go only a
few tracks. It then sped up quickly to 5-6 tracks/min.

If yours isn't, maybe something else is going on? Is your processor
getting other heavy use, antivirus actively scanning everything that's
accessed by your computer (you can turn that off whithout deactivating
all your antivirus protection, by the way), or your internet connection
very slow? Maybe try scanning a few albums singly, ones that aren't
obscure, and see if they go fast?

Anyway, what you describe seems odd given my experience, but I have no
better suggestions.
