Another performance issues that migth be more valid is large playlists and especially shuffling them .
We that used this system for years on end knows to use erlands plugins to random play from a large playlist ! Any other uses migth just load up a 10k track playlist and press shuffle and watch thier NAS melt :) Besides LMS great functionality , just browsing music folders or shuffle large playlist is what many users do because that's how they used Winamp or something before . Do we via statistics know how large the avarage collection is ? maybe a plugin to volonterarly collect more data ( that you can turn on or off or unistall ) .That reports some key user statistics without being specific ? basically the library stats + the actual number of tracks in the playlists . Is this benign enough ? I get a feeling that 500k tracks is an outlier but 100k tracks is more common than we migth think . So for development you must assume some median user ? Mr/Ms Squeezebox have 100k files 3k artists 400 genres , unlimited "new music" limit to see everything since it was added .a playlist size limit about 5000 tracks I also,suspects that the typical 500.000 files user has not paid for them at all ( torrents etc ) hence being so cheap about the hardware ;) there is a group of OCD downloaders . No offence to the forum regulars among who we actually have some atypical users who scanned ginormous cd collections in the past , but they seems to run real servers for thier needs . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
