SongBird process hangs after the window is closed
When quitting (or restarting) SongBird (1.2 and 1.4b3) the UI closes but the process remain active for a looooong time before being ended for good
My system is Windows 7 x64 and my music collection has nearly 45k tracks

Inappropriate?bump.
and just to add some details to motivate the bump:
it keeps happening with 1.4.1b1 1357 after a clean install and a clean profile with only the "default" addons installed.
The process stays in the list for a while, like 30min or more, sucking up resources (40-50% of the cpu and 90-100mb or ram) without doing anything (i hope).
During that time, trying to launch songbird results in a nice window alerting me that another instance is already running.
As far as i know, this problems doesn't exist on x32 systems or at leas doesn't show up on my other W7 machine which is x32. -
Inappropriate?Hi Alessandro -
Do you have something like Export to iTunes or Manage Music enabled? And which "default" add-ons do you have?
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?Hi Mari,
no i don't use the import or export features for itunes nor the music management. I just setup songbird to watch a network drive, where my music collection resides, for changes.
This are the addons i've installed:
CD-rip suppor 1.0.0.1335
Gracenote metadata lookup provider 1.0.0.1335
Ipod Device support 3.0.15.1335
Last.fm 1.00.1335
MashTape 1.0.0.1335
MSC device support 1.0.1.1335
MTP device support 1.0.16.1335
QuickTime Playback 1.0.4.1335 (disabled)
Shoutcast radio 1.0.0.1335
Windows media playback 1.0.4.1335
i think they are pretty much the ones that comes with the installation package.
Probably it's the watch folders that keeps the application running and it's a shame that we (users) don't have a clear view on the interface of what songbird is doing (i'm talking about a little bar on the status to inform us when he's scanning folders or updating collectionor wiping drives) or have the ability to manually stop/start this processes

My guess is that it's some combination of x64 and having the tracks on a network drive. I know that on first selection there is a progress bar indicating how much of your Watched Folder Songbird has added to the library... If you could, logging a suggestion for it in bugzilla is the best way to make sure the devs see it.
I'll ask around to see if anyone knows more about x64 behavior.
