Describe SamThursfield/Draft/Projects/Tracker/FAQ here.

Why is Tracker consuming lots of resources?

Tracker automatically indexes content in your home directory. Tracker aims to perform well even on large collections of content, but there is a limit to how much it can index without causing noticably high CPU and IO usage.

The problem may be:

• Very large amounts of files in the top of your home directory, or in the XDG standard data directories.
• A misconfiguration issue causing Tracker to index unwanted data
• A bug in Tracker that is triggered by certain files in your home directory.

Can Tracker help me organize my music collection?

At present, Tracker simply reads the metadata stores in your music files (often called 'tags').

You may be able to use Gnome Music to correct this metadata using the Musicbrainz database.

Programs that fix tags and organize music collections on disk, such as http://beets.io/, work well with Tracker.
