If the music folder contains any text file containing lyrics, html file or any other file gstreamer doesn't know how to decode the bpm detection will stop at this file leaving the throbber running and leaving half of the music library without bpm information. The only hint the user gets about that problem is the console message that gstreamer has not been able to decode a file - and the fact that the throbber in the lower left edge of the screen is turning endlessly always indicating that the bpm detection is in progress.

Comment 1 Chow Loong Jin 2011-11-29 03:26:24 UTC 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/875554/+attachment/2611369/+files/kingcrimsonframebyframe.wav is a file where BPM detection hangs, thought apparently BPM detection stalls if it encounters a non-audio file anyway, so perhaps Banshee needs to detect situations like this and skip over files it can't parse.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2020-03-17 09:29:10 UTC 
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
