It holds information about the library. Both essential data for playback like type of encoding and starting byte offset of music data, as well as non-essential "metadata" such as track and album titles, artist name, genre. > 2, If I do not use search and browse only by folder, do I still need > this database? Yes, it's required. SqueezeCenter always needs to read information about a playable track from the database. > 3. Is there a ways to reduce the size of this database?

The only real control you have over the memory usage of SlimServer is in the plugins that you have loaded. You could try disabling as many as you can, but the savings may not be much. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47271 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
