Do you have shuffle mode on? In other words, are you reshuffling those 7500 track playlists every time you load them? If so, then *that* (i.e., the reshuffling) is what is taking so long -- not re-indexing the tracks. Shuffle is pretty inefficient, and the inefficiency is amplified tremendously when you shuffle huge lists, especially on an underpowered server like the ReadyNAS.
If you haven't checked out Erland's relevant plugins (SQL Playlist and Dynamic Playlist) then you really should. You can get very specific about what tracks/artists/genres/etc to include or exclude. And if you want to stick with shuffle, you do realize that you can save the shuffled list? Loading the playlist without reshuffling should be very quick, even on a ReadyNAS. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45261 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
