Dr Lovegrove's detailing of the query definitely explains the performance/disk hit I've seen - that seems like an incredibly inefficient way to pull a random track. I imagine the intersection with selected genres is part of the problem - it necessitates creating a subset of all tracks before pulling a random track out of it. Since 99% of the time I listen to complete random, with no genres deselected or singled out, it would be nice to have it intelligently realize that fact and take the quicker path of picking a random rowid from the range of available tracks... Thanks for the thinking, Dr Lovegrove... I imagine it's not quite so simple as your suggested patch, but I'd love to be wrong! Let me know if there's a bug/enhancement that I could vote on, too :) -- vacaboca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vacaboca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2715 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20494 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
