FYI...

If you do a Relaunch or Restart, there will not be a startup scan. This is by design and has not changed recently.

I turned on the Log and it *does* look like it's scanning the music folders; just an order of magnitude faster than it used to (a time frame similar to what it took when I had startupScan set to "true").

Would you expect 13,000+ files to re-scan in roughly 2-3 seconds?

Files are on an external F/W 800 drive, so not real fast storage.

EDIT: also, I changed from ALAC back to FLAC (garbling issue with transcoded ALAC) and maybe FLAC tag reading is that much faster than ALAC?
