On like the 10th try, the scanner stalled at about the same place but I
left it scanning because I wasn't watching it closely.
Inexplicably, the scanner started moving again and completed scanning my
nearly 450k files.
However, it now stalls and aborts early in the artwork pre-caching

There is an lms feature which will use folder and file names to guess
artist/album/song when mp3 tag fields are empty. But when a folder
includes files with tags and other files without tags, that feature does
not work. The album will show the songs that have the tags and the other
song files
