[Fwd: Re: 100% CPU while searching in collection browser]

[Dr. Diesel]

I've already dropped the tables and rescanned, hoping for a fix
earlier.  Since then I've also deleted the album art for that folder,
suspecting it was the cause!  So a rescan now would likely fix that
particular song.  I've found others as well.

I'll try any all hacks/fixes/proposals to help!  Just let me know what
to attempt!

Thanks to all,
Andy
