WMP12 Always "Updateing Media Library".

Does anyone know if or when MS is going to fix this issue?
OR
Does anyone know of a current fix (other than going to WMP11) ?

This is the problem where every time WMP12 is started it goes into "updateing
Media Library" mode for a long long time even though no new songs were added
or downloaded. I have seen many other people posting the same issue but I
have not found any answers yet except for (take out WMP12 and load WMP11 via
a few tricks to make wmp11 work with Windows 7). I assumed this was a know
bug in WMP12 running under Windows 7, and that MS was working on it. I could
be wrong.

I guess this could be treated like “If it ant broke BAD, it ant broke at
all�, but I do not see it that way.
All of my 50 or so CD’s are in the My Music folder. I am running Windows 7
and WMP12.
When I first open WMP12, the CPU goes to 80% with WMPLAYER.EXE getting 50%
of the CPU and the disk starts getting hammered with 2 WMPSHARE.EXE getting a
total I/O of over 1MB per second.
Every time after the first time in WMP12, the excessive disk hits no longer
occur; however, the CPU still goes to 50% being used by WMP12 and stays
there. During this entire time the message “Updating Media Library� displays
at the lower right of the WMP12 main screen.

Maybe a manual restore by following the instructions for WMP 11 on Vista
at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary will help?

The WMP11 steps won't really work for Win7 and shouldn't really be
recommended there. The "Restore Media Library" option in WMP12 is much
better. =)
