I had a RESCAN oddity recently that I was going to raise in the Forum, but which I managed eventually to solve on my own. My LMS is set to RESCAN when it detects additions or changes. I hadn't done either recently, but LMS was suddenly endlessly rescanning, and freezing up in assorted annoying ways. While I was grabbing and preparing LOGGING files to show here, I noticed that they seemed to show a scanning hang-up with a single MP3 file in a single album (among thousands). I guessed that file - which I had not touched for years, even just to play it - had somehow developed corruption and that LMS was seeing this as a change that it could not deal with. Oddly, the file still played fine (in WinAmp - I couldn't get near it via LMS)! So, I simply deleted the file from its album folder, and then a RESCAN went though the whole music HDD quite quickly, and finished properly. I had another FLAC version of the same file, so I then just popped that into the folder, and again a RESCAN went ahead with no problems. Odd, really: why should an unused file suddenly corrupt itself? And why would LMS see that as a "change", triggering RESCAN?
