The little CPU/Mem widget at the top of the screen shows that my memory & swap (128MB) are being maxed out right before the Segmentation Fault.

Is there any way to prevent the script from starting from scratch everytime? If I could only run the script for the 25% left to download, the my memory wouldn't max out.

Thanks

The only way I can think of of doing that would be to only have maybe half of the albums on the memory card the 1st time, run the script, then backup the JPG covers to another folder and remove them from the COVERS folders of Canola, move the 1st half of the albums from your memory card to another folder, put the 2nd half of the albums in the directory Canola uses for your music files, update Canola's database with that 2nd half, and run the script again.

After all this is done, you should be able to copy the backed up JPG covers of the 1st pass to the COVERS folder of Canola and put all your music back into the folder used by Canola.

It's a drag but it should work.
