Overly aggressive default scanning settings

[jamiew]

One’s library doesn’t change so often as to require a ‘Painfully aggressive’ rescan every 300 seconds. I set mine to the more reasonable 3600 (60 mins) and ‘normal’ priority.

Also, would be great if ‘automatically’ would try to claim port 3689 if available, I find myself very often needing to set it to that using ‘manually’ even if iTunes built-in DAAP server isn’t running.

Normal and aggressive aren’t thread priorities, it’s how hard it tries to find the actual song length of songs that don’t have a length tag or an xing tag.

Couldn’t one achieve that by setting it to use port 3689?
