I mean... when people complain about the slow scanning, instead of abusing them for not having a fast machine, tell them something like this:
"The reason the server has to be so fast for a decently quick scan is because the logic in figuring out the correct tags in all the different formats we support is extremely difficult. We support CUE/wav, CUE/flac, ogg, mp3, wma, and aac. The number of different permutations and corner cases in scanning is startling, and it takes a lot of horsepower to figure out a sensible way to organize and present the information to you. We run into all sorts of weird problems where fixing one bad choice will cause others, so the code gets quite involved, and, thus, slow." (insert your own corrections for actual formats supported, I just use mp3 and flac, myself. :) ) -- Malor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Malor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35492 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
