Yes, I have always had occasions with "Validating 0 tracks left", and 
occasionally it says it's validating, finished, but there's still tracks that 
need validating.  I've always taken it to be some kind of an issue with the 
library, such as caching.

Another annoyance is that sometimes if I use the GUI, I drag new files into the 
window to add to library, but the app goes unresponsive for a minute or so 
whilst it searches for new music.  Other times doing the same action will 
return immediately.  Similarly with using Ctrl-D to delete from library - 
sometimes very quick, other times the GUI hangs up for a while doing something.

I use Comodo Internet Security suite.  I have tried turning off Firewall and 
Defense+, and there's no log entries to show that anything suspicious is 
happening there.

I found one album that I recently added where 1/2 of the tracks have analysed 
and half haven't.  I'm guessing that it is where filenames were amended.  e.g. 
I always capitalise every word, so tracks that were ripped and created with 
filenames such as "01 - Missing Pieces.flac" have been analysed okay, whereas 
"03 - Freedom at 21.flac" was renamed "03 - Freedom At 21.flac" and now won't 
analyse.

Generally, .mp3 files analyse okay.  Except I have found one .mp3 album that 
won't analyse either.  I've generally found that I can't analyse any .flac 
where I have touched the file, but I can analyse if I convert to .mp3.

I have attempted to copy the fingerprint tags from the .mp3 into the equivalent 
.flac file, but the .flac still won't go to analyzed state.
