I did say well organised. And I still maintain 100 is reasonable as an average - for all those long titles there will plenty of short ones as well. No need to store as full unicode - and the strings are readily compressible if you want. Artist strings and the like shouldn't be stored against every track (and you are doing well if you have a library with a million different artists in it...), and there's little point in storing any tags in the database that aren't there for searching and sorting - if you want to see full tag information on a particular track then just look at the file itself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103488 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
