Yes with a playlist of several thousand songs it will take some time to sync but then I can say it is not usual to have a playlist that long. I do agree that it would be good to limit the number of initial tracks synced and will look at that. We have also tried to terminate the sync process while underway but the complexity of the programming made it very difficult to achieve so that was stopped so we could release the current version. I have already noted that to be fixed in the next version. We are having a break from development at the moment but will be starting again in the New Year. In the short term here are a couple of suggestions to alleviate the sync waiting time: 1. Don't sync your entire collection, just sync what you want to play at any one time 2. Load a few tracks into the MediaMonkey Now Playing window and sync the playlist. Start playing the music and then add the rest of the tracks to the now playing window. The music will play while the rest of the playlist syncs. 3. Use the Auto-DJ function in MediaMonkey to randomly load tracks from the several thousand you have. Settings at Tools > Options > Player > Auto-DJ/Now Playing. Just make sure the maintain and retain settings are set to low values e.g. 5. Hope these help. Merry Xmas and a happy New Year!
