If all these thousands of tracks are lumped into one large directory, that could be your problem. I have hundreds of thousands of tracks, but they are organized generally as: x:\music\artist\album\tracks.... so there is a different subdirectory for each artist and within each artist, a different subdirectory for each album ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97459 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
