Reading mp3 files from a network share with version 2.42 is REALLY slow.
On a share with 3500 mp3's, it takes about a minute displaying "Reading directory"
After this, it says "reading tag data 3 of 3500" for about a minute or two, then "reading tag data 6 of 3500" for a couple of minutes.
It doesn't look like it's going to finish today...
I tried using v2.41 for about an hour ago, and it worked perfect.. so I think this is a bug in version 2.42.
OS: Windows Vista 32bit
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHz (E8400)
RAM: 2GB
Btw: I tried installing version 2.42 in Linux (WINE) on my laptop, and it reads the network share perfectly in about a minute!

I've changed nothing between v2.41 and v2.42 in this part of Mp3tag.
