It's a bug in libcdaudio's cddb stuff.

It only tests for new files on every other run other than the first one.
Even scanning for new music doesn't take all that long, assuming you don't 
have any mp3s..  I have it manually calculating mp3 length, so that's a bit 
of a time sink.  But, now that I've re-ripped everything to vorbis or flac, I 
don't have any more mp3s, so I really don't care =)
