Do you mean, it's slow when using the "browse music folder" menu item?
If I understand properly, that function bypasses the database and re-reads the various folders. So then the thing that is slowing you down is hard disk speed and connectivity. You mentioned that your hard disk is an external. What flavour of connection does it have? USB1? USB2? Firewire? Does the corresponding port on your computer support the disk fully? i.e. if it's a USB port, is the computer able to run USB2 on that port. PIIIs at 500MHz are probably 4 or 5 years old .. they mostly didn't have USB2 support. If so, that may be part of your problem. Possible solutions: Faster/newer computer Internal Hard disk Newer faster USB hardware in your PC Don't use the "browse music folder" function, but rather the ones by artist/album/genre, which go through the database. Hope this helps. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 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
