Re-indexing of audio artists after app update is unacceptably slow
I don't know if this is intended behavior or not, but after the past two updates (the only updates I've every experienced, as a new app user) when I open the app and go to the Audio tab, nothing appears in the view. I have local files from hundreds of artists stored on the iphone, so this is odd. Slowly, the artists will appear one-by-one. It's as if the app is re-indexing the filesystem. That's all well and good, if this process needs to happen after updates, but it is INSANELY slow. I can't just wait a few seconds for the view to fully load. For whatever reason, it won't fully load in one session. I have to repeatedly close the app via the task manager, then re-open it and scroll to the bottom of the artists, to see that a handful more loaded this time, then quit the app and repeat. Its definitely a broken process.
Can a developer inform me as to whether re-indexing is supposed to happen after each app update? If not, this is a bug that needs to be fixed. If so, the mechanisms execution and slowness itself is a bug that needs to be fixed.
I'd also suggest that if re-indexing is a process that has to take place after updates, the UI should show a message indicating that this process is taking place and should complete shortly. And then the process should actually complete shortly.
