It looks like it’s the scheduled library scan task, not the partial scan from a change detection.
As a workaround I’ve turned off the scheduled library scan server wide, and made my own scheduled tasks to scan the libraries that get new content often. If I actually add something to the music library, I’ll start a scan manually in the GUI.

After being resolved for quite some time, this issue has popped back up for me, and has persisted through the last few server versions.
Try un-pinning your music library when you restart Plex. In my case, Plex did not see the music library so I could load other things. When you want to listen to music, just restart Plex and re-pin. But unfortunately it does not solve the core problem, it is a workaround at best. So you will have to constantly restart Plex to make this work.
Since I add so little to my muisc collection can we add an option to stop scanning my music? please?!? I don’t see the need to put that HDD under that stress for no reason.
How about a manual option, I don’t want it to look for any changes.
Try unclicking auto detect scan box. But to stop the scanning, restart plex and un pin music library. Then restart and re-pin with auto detect scan off.
But isn’t that auto-detect for all libraries? I seems to be universal… I can’t say I want to do that for my video files.
There is a software bug that keeps music constantly scanning. For some reason mine has stopped doing it, but that’s what I had to do to add anything. Try restarting and load the newest update.
