Love this tool - but everytime I restart program it refreshes the directory. With som 200,000 MP3s this takes about an hour to process each time. Does it have to refresh each time I start program please?

See the Options Ctrl-O \>Directories where you can set in which folder MP3tag should start - or use an empty folder.  
Repeated loading is usually sped up if you switch on the library feature.
