I'm closing this because it's very old. What matters here is not so much the the number of gigabytes, but the number of songs. I've stress-tested with thousands of (very short) songs. (To the thumbnailer and mediascanner, the size of the song is essentially irrelevant; the cost of extracting ID3 tags from a large song is essentially the same as from a small one.)
The thumbnailer, music-app, and music-scope all cope well with very large collections now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scope-mediascanner in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369920 Title: Mediascanner scope "doesn't behave well" with lots of music (~30GB) Status in unity-scope-mediascanner package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: - via Rick...
