Hi Erland: I am happy to perform the test you described, but it may take me a day or two. To answer your other questions: I was definitely running 7.0.1 prior to upgrading to 7.1. Yes, I have iTunes integration enabled. And Yes, I have a Music Folder configured in SqueezeCenter (C:\Music_Library\).
In the meantime, here is an interesting item. I fortunately have held on to most of my scheduled backup files, and rescued a bunch that had not yet been deleted from the XP trash. Over time, the file sizes grow gradually, as expected, as more ratings are added, more songs are added to the library, and more history entries are generated. However, between Aug 02 and Aug 03, I noticed an unusually large jump in size: -rwx------ 1 gbreit gbreit 7353795 Jul 31 03:08 trackstat_scheduled_backup_20080731.xml -rwx------ 1 gbreit gbreit 7358800 Aug 1 03:08 trackstat_scheduled_backup_20080801.xml -rwx------ 1 gbreit gbreit 7367833 Aug 2 03:08 trackstat_scheduled_backup_20080802.xml -rwx------ 1 gbreit gbreit 8177327 Aug 3 09:52 trackstat_scheduled_backup_20080803.xml -rwx------ 1 gbreit gbreit 8181521 Aug 8 18:05 trackstat_scheduled_backup_20080808.xml -rwx------ 1 gbreit gbreit 8181521 Aug 9 03:05 trackstat_scheduled_backup_20080809.xml I upgraded SC from 7.01 to 7.1 on Aug 2 in the afternoon (around 13:00). So the jump in size occurred during the first backup after the 7.1 upgrade. (XP directories are samba mounted on my mac, where I can work from the Unix shell) I performed a diff between the 0802 and 0803 backups which I have pm'd you. At the beginning, you will see a bunch of new tracks that I added that day, no problem. But following that is a large number of new <track> fields that all look like this: > <track> > <url>file%3A%2F%2F%2FC%3A%2FMusic_Library%2FBadfinger%2FBadfinger_The%2520Very%2520Best%2520Of%2F10%2520We%2527re%2520For%2520The%2520Dark.m4a</url> > <added>1158814205</added> > </track> What do these all have in common? Every one appears to have an apostrophe in either the song title, or the album title (corresponding to the directory in which it is stored). Furthermore, the apostrophe is encoded as %2527 in the url. I have not verified, but I suspect that on that day, there has been a new duplicate entry added for every single url that contains an apostrophe... Again, I am not 100% certain when I started to experience the issue with the missing ratings, but it very possible it started after the 7.1 upgrade. Will execute your suggested test asap. Thx.
