Yes that is my
If you use "music folder" instead of artist ,album ,genre then acess
over network would slow down browsing as you actually are browsing the
folders and files and are not using the scanned database.

Also notice that using "music folder" is no longer possible while
scanning (it works normally after the scan is finished ).
cue sheets does not work in "music folder" browsing either fyi.

Yes it is the microserver has slots for 4 internal drives and one could
cram one extra in the 5,25" bay too .
But anyway the server may be slow scanning and slow to use while
scanning , but it should not really be complete
Is the 2TB drive internal? May be that is the ticket

It can be either. An old computer can be converter to Vortexbox or you
can purchase a Vortexbox Appliance (a small computer running Votexbox).

Are the files locally on the server or spread out on remote shares ?
As usual "music folder" is much slower than artist or album and it is
slow to respond while scanning .
But something must be strange here as your server should be able to do
better .
You should ,not scan for videos or pictures
You might want to consider getting a high performance NAS like a
VortexBox. We designed VortexBox to support very large music
collections. Our 4TB VortexBox can easily handle 120,000 files with no
problems.

OK after owning almost all Squeezeboxes including the Transporter and
