[3.1.6466] Crashes, errors, huge RAM usage

[Josh K.]

I've been using MusicBee for about a week, and it has recently started crashing about 8-12 seconds right after start on Win 8.1. v3.0.6xxx has been running flawlessly for a while, but at some moment it just started to crash every time. Updating to 3.1.6466 hasn't changed anything. It could also crash even faster if any actions are tried in the interface. It might've been connected to the fact that I have a large file count in the library (32000 files in "inbox") and some of them are on a portable HDD which isn't always connected to the system.
I've tried to clear the library (by renaming c:\Users\<username>\Music\MusicBee\MusicBeeLibrary.mbl), now the "inbox" is empty, and player doesn't immediately crash, but still crashes when trying to navigate the interface, throws errors, and occasionally continues working and playing music after crash. Memory consumption is about 1.7 GB, right after start. Here is a recent error message:

As a side note, it is rather unwise to logout a forum user while she is writing a post for more than 60 minutes, and clear everyting that was written. If it wasn't for my habit to Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C everything before submitting, I would definitely throw the laptop against the wall and never ever use MB again. Forcing the user to go through registration hell just to allow them to submit a bug report is already a bad practice, please don't make it even worse.

its unusual that MB would require so much memory but there is one user who has a large library and embeds a lot of tag data in each file.
So if thats the same for you, this should address the issue:

I've finally managed to clear list of folders at Preferences -> Library -> monitored folders, before MB has startup-crashed again. RAM usage is now back to normal, no crashes as of yet. I'll try the memory fix from the link and rebuild the library. Thank you.
