hey puzzler - and i thought i was the only one using LONG playlists in shuffle mode! ;-)
mine are only ~800 songs, but i agree the delay is there. on my system, it took about 15-20 sec. for SS 6.x to start playing the lists shuffled. while not instantaneous, i can live with that. i have a severley resource starved server: 700 MHz PIII equivalent VIA ITX MoBo with 1GB and it is running LOTS of stuff. how long are you waiting? i am not sure if this will help you, but i discovered something just recently... my playlist manager (personal playlist manager plugin for winamp) seems to be adding junk to my playlists. i had a playlist called "mood groovy" which had ~700 tracks in it and was ~85KB in size. when i accidentally re-saved it from inside winamp, it shrunk to 14KB and all 700 tracks all still there! go figure... anyways, i am imagining my SS 6 is faster now, it rarely needs more than 10 sec. to load "mood groovy" shuffled. here is what i did: opened "mood groovy" in winamp. immediately re-saved it (different file name) -> shrunk to 14KB. re-scanned playlists in SS. done! maybe you want to try that? other than that, i really wouldnt know either - sorry! -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42650 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
