That entirely misses the point. There is little reason for a playlist to use any significant resources unless the software doing it is poorly designed. Looking at the comments in 'this bug' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10889) it looks like playlist handing is a kluge that requires an entire rewrite. -- hawaiijim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hawaiijim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37570 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77156 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
