Yes, I know. That is why bliss was blowing my mind! I kept seeing my available space drop a Gig at a time, and started getting worried as I was about to use up all available storage on my NAS. I finally had to stop bliss when I had 50GB of 1093GB remaining. The cover art is typically only 40KB, and 99.9% of my music is FLAC. I don't think I can figure the math on it, but if I have 22,000 tracks, and they each get 40KB (embedded)worth of cover art, I still should only have added about a couple of Gigs at most. As mentioned earlier, most art was 300x300 or 600x600. I realize that resolution does not correspond to file size of the JPG, but I could count on one hand the number of times I put a large file (900x900) to an album. Still, having bliss grab ~1100 albums worth of covers used ~250GB worth of additional space. I could get more exact numbers if that helps, but I'm not too far off. -- SamS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82205 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
