squeezebox server 7.6.0 issues

Now I have 88 tracks in my library, and squeezebox server 7.6.0 has scanned 'all of them' in 5 secondes I still strongly recommend to switch to 7.6.1. (and do the upgrade according to the standard squeezebox installation procedure) Do a re-scan with the new version on your smaller music folder just to see if everything is ok (which I suppose will happen), then re-configure your SBS by setting your music folder location into your real collection folder. And then do a full re-scan.

This worked for me! Finally the scan completed and it's all working properly now.
Everyone who contributed; thanks a lot :)

My next challenge is setting up my popcorn hour a210... it gives me headache already ;-)

What's horrible I feel about this whole thing is the wiki for troubleshooting 7.6.0 says the following: "Some people with problem with 7.6 decides to downgrade back to 7.5.x. This is certainly a good alternative for anyone that don't want to be a beta tester of 7.6.0 or 7.6.1. "

Why are beta firmwares being released to the public as stable firmwares in the first place?! I hope Logitech will do a better job next time, I'm really sick of troubleshooting this. The version of 7.6.1 I am trying currently is: Version: 7.6.1 - r32935, it seems to have the same issue.

I will be reverting back to the old firmware soon if this doesn't seem to do the trick, I removed the playlist folder off the scan completely, I only have the music directory listed. I'm hoping for the best so I can listen to music again.

As the wiki also states - complain to Logitech. The problems with 7.6 are not exclusive to the ReadyNAS release

no, i know, i just thought id add it here as well. i posted just about the same thing on logitech's forum.

7.6.1 has been good for my ReadyNAS Duo but I did an another update, 33082 which caused a hang on rescanning for new tracks.

The current v7.6.1~33110-sparc-readynas works fine with a scan rate of 10,000 tracks/hour compared with 6000 previously.

Regards

To be honest; I've been ignoring the update message for quite some time now. I'm afraid something will go wrong when I've updated. In my opinion, the software is very unstable.
