I'm also seeing this kind of big 'delay' at the beginning of a clear and rescan often (Windows). What library size? Guess it's the phase where the old records are removed from the db. It's much faster when I stop LMS, delete the cache and restart. No, the removing stage would be reported in

I updated to LMS7.9 recently and checked the scanner log to see the improved scanning times, but discovered that my scan was still taking quite a while to complete. It is scheduled to clear and rescan at 7:00 AM using the Rescan Music Library plugin. You're on Windows? Make sure you set the

Not as such, but some of us are trying to be dependent on as few "out there in the cloud" resources as possible. Then go buy CDs or downloads :-). I do understand you point. But right now you don't have a choice. Somebody could pick up the pieces and write yet another Spotify implementation.

I'm using the Spotify Protocol Handler version 1.1.1 - the one by Michael Herger that's a modification of Triode's plugin, I think. Yes, SPH is a stripped down version of Triode's. Triode implemented his own content navigation. I removed all of that for SPH. It fully relies on the official

I am afraid I have misguided you a little.The music goes on due to sugarcube that picks song after song. What's wrong then? Seriously: I don't understand what you're expecting, what you're experiencing, and what was wrong about that. DSTM should provide a list of songs (a playlist of 5

Some tracks on a disc will only have thirty seconds of the song. How do you get to those albums? The 30s might be the result of trying to play a copy of an album not intended for "your" market. Music services have different albums for different markets, eg. the ID for an album available in
