Ran a search, so some questions regarding this, but no one really had an answer.

Starting a fresh one as I now have this after two weeks of owning my S3.

I noticed my battery was draining fast, checked out stats. Media Server was using 34% of battery.

Did a search here and google search. I made sure that Poweramp was closed out, removed the headset options so it would not stay on, removed the automatic scan, etc.
Rebooted.
All my aps are closed. I do not see Media Server running in the background. It is now down to 20% usage.

I have ZERO desire moving my music off my card and putting each song on one by one (3000 song library).

Is this still a bug? Anyone come up with a good solid workaround for this? I am not rooted yet (I did not really see a need as I was super happy with the performance out of box for MY needs compared to my Epic).

My batter life was FANTASTIC until this started. Anyone else dealing with this?

Nope... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35316395#post35316395


It's gonna scan the SD card for files and stuff i believe.. (Typically on boot) supposedly this app will help (That thread is full of tweaks) Just read on them. Hope it helps!
