Yes, the ratings can be exported, and as I said, I'd hope that it'll be a painless process, but it seldom is. There is also the issue of my SQL based playlists that I have build and modified over a long period of time. Maybe these will be painlessly exportable too. I have some custom tags in my classical music that I tied to Custom Browse shortcuts. I don't use them that frequently, but I hope they'll migrate without an issue. radish;433677 Wrote: > > I wouldn't expect the change in DB engine to make a significant > difference to scanning, no, but I could be wrong.

Well, I doubt the performance of SQLite will be significant, but we'll have to wait and see when the folks that have large libraries have to clear and rescan once or twice on the same day. radish;433677 Wrote: > > And I've got enough bridges, thanks :) > I just ran out bridges to sell anyway...

Let's just hope that the SQLite migration goes as smoothly as you see it. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64564 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
