I'm actually quite satisfied with the overall performance, both scanning and browsing/playing, with 7.8.0. but I'm probably not in the mainstream use case. I never use BMF (that I know of, not sure how Orange Squeeze queries the DB) and routinely throw 5,000 tracks into my playlist using the Playlist Generator plugin (so awesome!). I use the web UI for almost all browsing/music selection and whatever is most convenient at the time for player control (mostly pause or skip). I generally have a wired SB3 and wireless Boom synced playing FLACs. Library is fairly large: 300K+ 2/3 of which are FLAC.
So many interesting ideas in this thread. I'm always encouraged by the level of activity in this forum and the prospects that the SB ecosystem will continue to thrive long past the neglectful custodianship provided by Logitech. So.... There's one fairly important piece of information I'd love to see in the web UI: the total duration of the current playlist. Often I just throw way more than we will listen to in the course of an evening, but it would be nice to tailor a list to a specific time frame, like a party that will last 4-6 hours, with music appropriate to the "phase" (something acoustic during drinks/arrival, switching to more upbeat to dance to before dinner, softer through dinner and then into full party mode before winding down). I've created such lists by adding up track times in Excel as I put them together, but it would be so much easier to see the total playing time get updated as I added songs.
