anaroK is still only partially operating. It will look at a folder containing no more than 10 mp3\'s and import them into the media folder. ANything over that number of files and anaroK halts, occupies a huge chunk of ram (1,2GB on my box) and slows the whole system to a halt (750Mhz with 2GB of ram). When I kill the processes by hand I find anaroK has three processes running each with about 1.1GB of ram seized.

I have 3,000+ mp3\'s in artist folders under the meta folder My Music ( /mnt/storage/my \\Music

Any ideas?

Any logs for me to copy and post here? Where are the logs kept (path). I don\'t see any logs at all when I do a find command on *anaro*.

Maybe you should try the correct application, i only know an amaroK, not an anaroK. :woohoo:

Apart from that, sorry, not too sure.

What version are you using?

As amaroK (your spelling sounds like anorak - a winter-jacked in German *g*) is sharing memory among its threads, it is just once 1.1 GB.

So something is really odd, I run amaroK on a 700MHz and 256MB of RAM and it is fine.
How do you add these files, just direct to the playlist or to your collection?

There are no logs (why should a "simple" app have a log file?), but some output on STDOUT.

I have nearly the same problem (cpu+ram+swap-usage 100%, without any sucess, freeze to halt), but only when i select \"scan folders recursively\". (all other scan options are uncheked)
Without this option checked everything works fine . But then I have to select every subfolder (I have one subfolder per album)by its own.... very frustating work :sick:

I use amaroK 1.2.3
