Bug ID: 58150
           Summary: MusicBee: Inconsistent directory monitoring
                    performance on SMB mounts via CIFS compared to native
                    filesystem (Linux)/SMB mount (Windows)
           Product: Wine-staging
           Version: 10.4
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux

MusicBee has a feature to continuously monitor the library's directory for any
new files that have ended up in the library. On Windows, this is pretty
reliable both on native NTFS as well as network drives via SMB. On Linux,
however, only the native drive seems to be reliable.

With my SMB drive mounted via Linux's CIFS driver, even though performance is
good on WINE's built-in file picker as well as KDE Dolphin, the continuous
monitor on MusicBee seems to be lacking in performance in comparison to native
on Linux and the network drive on Windows. Having 10 albums being scanned and
imported into the inbox can take up to 2 minutes if at all (MusicBee will
sometimes work, but most times not, you have to restart it to get it to see the
files where you don't need to on Windows), while it's basically instant on
Windows.

Also, sometimes MusicBee's monitor will immediately import the tracks, then
think the tracks are gone. Doesn't seem to happen with native drives on Linux,
neither does it happen with MusicBee on an SMB setup in Windows.

OS is Bazzite 42, WINE Staging 10.4 layered on top, MusicBee version 3.6.9202.

I did some tests recently - adding 10 albums to the inbox on my library which
uses SMB.

On Linux (CachyOS, though Bazzite and other distros should be the same): 2
minutes, 18 seconds.
On Windows: 20 seconds.

I should add that Linux native apps also do not have any latency issues like
this. It seems to be specific to MusicBee's directory monitoring under WINE.

I am rescinding the following clause:

This has just happened to me on Windows! This seems to be a bug with how
MusicBee is handling SMB/CIFS network drives in general.
