Itunes Server refresh stuck at 6%

HI

I have upgraded the FW of my 323 to 1.08 3 weeks ago. last week i noticed that some of my albums weren't showing up on my Laptop (Itunes). I logged in to my 323 to have a look, i noticed that the Itunes server was refreshing and was 6% complete, i just assumed that it must have detected a change and decided that it needs to refresh. i have since logged in everyday (for the past 5-6days) to check the status and it seems to be stuck at 6%. i only have 2 x 500Gig drives configured as a mirror.
this is most annoying.

has anyone come accross this before? does anyone know what might be the problem? does anyone know how i can cancel the refresh?

Re: Itunes Server refresh stuck at 6%

I believe this is caused when the scan comes across an mp3 with a corrupted / problem tag.  I havent used the itunes server on the dns323 so I'm unsure what the condition is which causes it.

I'm sure there is a batch mp3 tag editing tool you can use to solve this.

Re: Itunes Server refresh stuck at 6%

I had the exact same problem until I took the advice of checking the ID3 tags of all of my files. Some of the files had ID3v1 some had both ID3v1 and ID3v2, and some had APE tags. There are over 16,000 mp3/m4a/flac files in my collection and they all scan and play (minus the flac) in iTunes with no problem at all. I think the total size was around 140 GB of music.

The process I went through to get all the tags in order was to use foobar2000 on Windows and remove all the previous tags album by album. Then write new tags being sure to keep the all the tags as ID3v2. It took me about 2 weeks to go through the whole collection but in the end it was worth it. As an extra step I used a linux program called EasyTAG to write album artwork to each album (again went through album by album)

I'm sure there was an easier way to do this, but in the end iTunes server works perfectly. It takes a long time to scan everything.
