I don't think its a silly idea - I think playlist handling definitely needs to be cleaned up. I have playlists with 1000s of songs in them. Scans obviously take a long time, although I can somewhat live with that. But playlist handling seems to be inconsistent. I can pick a large playlist from

I definitely haven't. I does appear that choosing to scan only playlists forces a full rescan on 6.3. I's have though that any scan of a just one new playlist ought to be pretty instantaneous. Is this how it on your machine? MC -- ModelCitizen Squeezebox2 Benchmark Dac1 Naim NAC 82 Naim

Hmm, not my experience at all with 6.3 but I'm running a nightly from about two weeks ago rather than the most up to date. Rescan 20 odd playlists takes about 3 minutes (compared with a new music scan which takes about 10) Have you tried enabling the d_scan debugging flag (Server Settings /

Thanks for your help geezas. Needs short history: yesterday I added a few playlists and then rescaned playlists only. Took hours (but I do have a really low spec machine). I was perplexed as (in my world) adding playlists referencing mucic already in the SS database should not require a scan of

Well, the good news is that rescan playlists appears only to be rescanning playlists ! It really does sound to me like you have an errant playlist or cue file in there somewhere which is referencing all this old music and that is what is bogging Slimserver down. I would start again - create a

My experience too with 6.3. I make a playlist on my computer, get SlimServer to Scan Playlists only, walk downstairs to start the playlist on the hifi via the Squeezebox remote. Then I have to make a cup of tea, have a shower, cook dinner and if I'm lucky by then SlimServer will have
