It's been two months since I built the first database with an early version and I've done numerous updates since; both for new media and to test new builds. That database has never been an issue and has made mpd a joy to use since it works the way *I* want it.
As a rough benchmark: It scanned an 8000 file library of 450.3 gigs in about 6.5 minutes; this includes the delay for the numerous ISOs in the library.
## Notes
Please make note of the following things:
- If you get a "simple database" error; check the path of the database you specified.
- Try to use full paths at all times.
- It looks like it hangs on ISO files when using --verbose. It's not. Just wait. I believe it's something with the plugin that I don't want to touch.
- Your music directory is root of the database. Keep this in mind if you want to scan on a different system.

The database can be moved to a different system than it was scanned on. This is helpful for scanning directly on the NAS. The database stores everything as relative to the root of the music directory. So you can scan ``/raid/music`` on your NAS, mount it as ``/mnt/music`` on your local machine, point MPD to ``/mnt/music``, and that's it.
