I think the inital run on my system with 1600 album took about three days. Once done it won't likely need to be done again.
Once the initial library is built, the script will only be adding new content and updating changes. If you have a really busy day and have ripped 20 new albums the script might run for a few minutes. While you're sleeping. Tag changes can easily be "automagically propogated" by comparing file timestamps. I have my script give the resulting Mp3 files the exact same timestamp as the orginating Flac file. As for disk space, my Flac library uses about 550 GB, while the Mp3 mirror is 94GB. I find that perfectly acceptable. One fifth of a $150 500GB drive costs me about $30. > This is one of the main reasons I have a Squeezebox in the first place, > why I loved my Rio Karma for its oh-so-brief lifetime, and why I own a > Cowon A2. Playing Flac files on disk-based portables lessens playback time on a battery charge considerably. On solid-state players it's generally not a viable option. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39762 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
