Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee permanently scanning BPM

[Michael Martin-Smucker <mlmartin13 gmail com>]

BPM detection can be a long and CPU-intensive process, but unless you have a really huge library, it seems a bit unlikely that it's actually doing anything at this point.  If you're curious, you might see something in the log if you run Banshee from Terminal with the command "banshee --debug".

Personally, I've never found the BPM detection to be very accurate, so if you don't need it and you're worried about resource consumption, you can always disable it in Edit > Preferences > Source Specific > checkbox at the bottom ("Automatically detect BPM...")

Banshee Users,

Whenever I start Banshee, there is a progress indicator in the bottom
left that says there is an active task running, which is that it is
scanning BPM.

This active task has never stopped since the day I installed Banshee.
That was months ago, so I have suspicions about whether or not it is
actually doing anything, or consuming resources.

Will it ever stop?
