    Scanning of iTunes.xml stops at half thereafter CPU usage at 99% forever…

    As the subjuct states, I have a iTunes library containing 11000 songs…
    …at song 8062, it stops scanning everytime. The CPU usage rushes to 99% and are there …
    …forever…

    Is my iTunes lib corrupt?

    How fix?

    song 8062 has corrupted metadata.
    It’s the music file itself, not the iTunes library file. You will have to fix it or remove it.

    You could run something like this http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/ over your entire library to find & fix any other corrupted files you may have.

    If you bump up firefly’s loglevel to 5 or even 9 before the rescan you’ll see the file being scanned. The last file it attempts to scan makes firefly bail, so that’s the culprit. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    It fixed the problem, working fine now…

    The app mp3val, reported problem with 75% of all my mp3:s… ๐Ÿ™
    …so I skipped that and used debug 9 to find the corrupt song.

    Yes, it appears a great deal of tools out there just dump crap into the id3 headers ๐Ÿ™
