I really wish BMF didn't have to be used this way, but I suppose it will depend on how quickly the auto-scan will pick up new content. I'm not really clear yet how well the auto-scan will work. For instance, say I have a 2100 album, 25000 track library attached and I drop a new album onto the disk, how quickly would it be expected to pick up the new album? Does the scanner run continuously in the background, or is it launched every N minutes? Will it scan more quickly if the server and player are idle and not streaming music? The worst performance I see out of BMF (using big SbS) right now is when I have a root folder with about 700 artist folders and drop in a new artist. It takes forever to get past that first branch in the tree. Picking up a new album from an existing artist seems to work much better. If BMF could just traverse directories and not be expected to find new and changed content then it would be much more responsive. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71289 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
