Hello
I've had this problem since the beginning, the scanner hangs at around 4447 tracks. It only seems to scan the most recently added songs, probably everything added in the last few months. I have an Archos 70 250 gig device. I have 24000 songs so its only scanning 20% or less. The scanning path is correct. I can manually scan each folder but that painfull so say the least
Any ideas?

does it say scan complete or does it actually hang mid scan
what version are you using?
You posted at some point on the archos forums didnt you? Because this sounds really familiar
with that being said.. in the last month or so I have found some mp3 files on certain devices actually hang when trying to read the tags (it was limited to the asus transformer trying to scan the 6 sample mp3s that come on the device). Assuming the scan actually does truly hang.. i would assume it is the same issue. There is a patch available for the tagging library GMMP uses, but I havent applied it yet to see if it helps at all

Yes I did post on the archos forum some months ago
It says 4447 file scanned and then hangs, it doesn't actually say scan complete
I am using the latest version of the player. It does make me wonder if a specific mp3 is causing it to freeze up. If that is the case it must be something quite old as Gonemad player has done it from the beginning. I did manually scan in everything via the folders and all is working well

it would be curious if you could find that file.. in the meantime i do plan on trying to figure out what hangs the scanner with the few files i have.. hopefully the tag library patch fixes it

It still hangs, this time when I do a scan for new files only
Also if I go to browser view and scan the artist/band if often doesn't scan all albums, I then have to go the missed albums and scan them in individually.
I had a browse through the folders and found a few txt and bak files, i deleted them but it didn't fix the problem. If its a specific mp3/music file I have no idea which one.

txt or bak files will be ignored by the scanner
i still havent been able to look at the tag code to see why its freezing on certain files (on certain versions of the android os.. the same file works fine in 2.3 but will freeze in 3.0+)
