Post subject:  Media Collector Service - High CPU Usage - RESOLUTION
After setting up my new EX490, I noticed very high CPU usage by MediaCollectorClient.exe on one of my PCs. It was constantly pegged at over 50% CPU in task manager (it's a Core 2 Duo system, so this may have been 100% for one core, I'm not sure). I did a bunch of googling and couldn't find a resolution so I'm posting what I found here.

In the Application Event log, I noticed the following error for MediaCollectionLibrary, "Couldn't parse file as MP4 tagged for C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Music\01_I_ll_Play_The_Blues_For_You__Parts_1_And_2_.m4a: System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted." (the full event log message is below). So I stopped the MediaCollectorService service in control panel and renamed/removed the offending file. Then I restarted the service and, viola, CPU usage is now at a reasonable level.

Hopefully this helps somebody else.
