GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 336664
100% CPU spike and program freeze
Last modified: 2006-04-06 14:37:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: Having a large music database (4500+ songs) causes Banshee to constantly freeze and spike to 100% CPU usage when moving in between Music Library and either playlists or devices (such as an iPod). Steps to reproduce: 1. Drag a song from Music Library (main database) and create a new playlist (OR) enter a song in the search field. 2. Go back to the Music Library 3. Banshee now freezes and CPU spikes too 100% for a few minutes. Banshee then finally loads the Music Library Actual results: Banshee freezes Expected results: Banshee should not freeze. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Perhaps a better (or robust) way of caching files is needed for people with quite large music libraries? Banshee is really crippled due to this type of behaviour.
I can't confirm this using Banshee 0.10.9 on Ubuntu Dapper Drake with 24,000 songs in my database. I tried to reproduce by dragging a song from the music library to an existing playlist, and a second time by dragging to a new playlist. What are your PC specs, including CPU speed and memory?

Paul, my specs are AMD64 3000+ and 1GB of RAM.
