I've noticed (with 0.14 under Debian) that when adding large 
directories, one of two things happens:

1. It takes a really long time to inex all files, but gnomoradio does 
come back after some minutes.

2. Gnomoradio segfaults.

In your case, since you've had to close gnomoradio, my guess is that 
it's unresponsive but still busy.

I seem to be able to add one large directory, but it consistently 
segfaults when reaching 100% CPU when I add another. Shame, because I 
really like the idea and the clean simple look of gnomoradio. I need to 
have all my music at my disposal though ;). Maybe in a next version. Oh, 
and to make this an appropriate message for the dev-list:

Has anyone thought about writing an Audioscrobbler 
(www.audioscrobbler.com) plugin for gnomoradio? I'd be willing to help 
there, but I'm not sure I have the expertise and the time to start/lead 
such a project.
