Hi Erland, I just loaded this up to give it a try. I am a bit confused by some of your comments, hopefully you can explain. You say 'my hope is that this should make it possible to play music without interruption while doing a full rescan'. What do you mean about a full rescan? If you are talking 'Clear library and rescan everything' (which I am currently doing) then you have no music when scanning (as it has yet to be discovered), or are you talking about from mysqueezebox.com? I put on the radio whilst scanning and had rebuffering issues at the end of the scanning new files stage (300 files or so from the end)
Another comment, I don't understand "Haven't tested or implemented anything regarding export/import modules provided by TrackStat, so my guess is that these probably won't work yet when triggered from the main SBS scanner". Do you mean, only LastFM, custom Tag, Mixed Tag and Rating Tag work? If so, I use none of them, so I am not sure my test will prove anything. So onto your rescan performance question. As I don't use any of the implemented features I guess it will be similar. But with Custom Scan enabled I get: Discovering files/directories: \\TheMACServer\Music\Music (16935 of 16935) Complete 00:03:07 Scanning new files: \\TheMACServer\Music\Music (14696 of 14696) Complete 00:37:02 Discovering playlists: \\TheMACServer\Music\Squeezebox\Playlists (133 of 133) Complete 00:00:02 Scanning new playlists: \\TheMACServer\Music\Squeezebox\Playlists (125 of 125) Complete 00:00:39 Pre-caching Artwork (1511 of 1511) Complete 00:05:27 The server has finished scanning your music collection.
