I am not at 1,000 CD mark yet but it is good to know that it may not make much difference. Although I think the re-indexing speed should at least be linear to the number of records in the database. It would still be beneficial to be able to seperate collections into different groups for easy navigation of music and for the ability to be able to "freeze" music collections seperately. -- agentsmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19080 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
