"A decent sized artwork cache is another matter though." This I presume must be the issue... Since the BlueSound can handle >65k tracks, it must not be a 16-bit indexing limitation.
Based on this review: http://www.audiostream.com/content/bluesound-vault It looks like the BlueSound Vault only has 256MB of RAM on board and another 4GB of flash. Since it can handle up to 600KB artwork, I suspect it must be a limitation of that 4GB flash and size of artwork once you get to ~80k tracks. This brings up another issue for me with these music servers, for ~$1000, the hardware looks really weak (come on... let's at least put in a 16GB flash, huh?). '$6000 servers with ARM/Atom core processor and Vortexbox' (http://www.audiostream.com/content/antipodes-reference-series-dx-music-server)?! That's highway robbery IMO!
