How to efficiently scan all music files on the device?

Question

Android

You need to create a database of tags for all music files, for later quick access to them. Getting all the files itself does not take much time using CursorLoader , but the tags get a very long time. I am using Jaudiotagger . For 330 files, the process takes ~17 seconds. Poweramp does it in ~7 seconds. Also interested in how to keep track of recently added files.

Answer 1

Why do you need this when there is a Media Store API ?
