I've been trying to track down some performance issues on my machine and turned up some logging within MC and found that every time a song it queued for playing, we copy the cover art to the temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\mike\application data\J River\Media Center 13\Temp )with a name of something similar to MP3 Image - 14636.jpg and also copy over the entire track info html code instead of using what is in the directory already.

Is this how this is supposed to work by default?

I was also having the high CPU issue with Auto Import turned on as well that other were reporting. I am not sure what option I need to turn off if analyze audio, build thumbnails, or get cover art was the culprit. Since I was not adding anything to my library, we should not have been running at 10-15% CPU or doing anything. I disabled all options except auto-import and it appears it is back to normal after a restart of MC.

...  we should not have been running at 10-15% CPU or doing anything.

Why is that a problem?  When MC first sees your library, it does some work to prepare it for use.  Thumbnails, etc.  10 to 15% isn't a problem, in my opinion.  Even higher unless something else needs the horsepower.

Right, but this is constant CPU usage, not the initial preparation use that you are talking about. I know about the view changing and the CPU it consumes, but sitting there doing nothing watching task manager jump around for a supposedly idle process?

I'll mess with some of the options to see where the CPU is coming in to play here.

Are you running any third party products with MC?

[mlagase]

Nope, this is a new install of MC13 with no added bells/whistles just yet
