To clarify, by frozen, I mean that the percentage progress bar freezes at an arbitrary number (63.5%, 70%,...), that the machine does nothing for 25 minutes, and that there is no disk activity. Is it possible there is still work going on under the surface? Here is fsck on my disks: [EMAIL

I understand, but the output does not indicate that the used space is directly *in* the home folder. It lists /home/reuben as being 100%, and then the summation underneath (the subdirs) adds up to only, say, 50%. It is not clear that the home directory itself has files that are taking up the

It's actually more minor than that. My point is just that if the ratings are used as part of an algorithm to determine scores (1 == less likely ; 5 == more likely), and if also 1 is unlikely to be chosen due to awful songs probably not being kept in the owner's collection, then the algorithm is
