Problem importing long tracks

[tbm72]

I work a lot with long music files (sometimes an hour or more) and the latest MM5 seems to be very slow at importing them. For example I have a 1 hour long track that I drag onto the Music node to import. Previously a file of this length would import in a matter of seconds but this time it was hanging for several minutes so I assumed it had crashed and forced quit.

I restarted MM5 and tried again several times but I got the same result. Then eventually I saw at the bottom it said: "1 files to be tagged" and I also had the spinning disc at the top so I just left it alone for several minutes and eventually it imported correctly and MM came back to life.

So I don't know if it's just me but it seems to be taking a lot longer than it used to for importing long tracks. All the while it's processing the file it won't play any other tracks and gives the impression that it's crashed (don't know if it's track length or file size that makes it slow but my file was approx 140mb and 1 hour long if you want to test).

Which Build (Help > About) are you experiencing this with and what File Type(s) are affected?

Build 5.1.0.2802 and this is with large (140mb>) mp3 files.
