Ultraviolet has a library of over 400,000 tracks... you may want to ask him. The main problem with such large libraries is that (aside from scanning which is going to take a while) some lists such as "all tracks in a genre" are going to be HUGE. They are going to create quite a bit of network traffic too. The Web UI running on the SBS machine may be the best front-end for massive libraries, since it would minimise the network traffic. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
