30k songs here, but NFS mounted, which is almost certainly the reason. Plus there are a lot of WMA/WAV/RealPlayer/etc files in there that MPD won't like, I'd guess - it may be scanning all of those every time I update because those files will never make it into the database (because it doesn't recognise them). (Note, I'm not actually sure if MPD can't read WAVs, WMAs, etc but I use those as an example - there are all sorts of filetypes in there, some of which I'm sure MPD can't read!) > i was NOT talking about the create-db option of mpd.

If it really only takes a few seconds to update (after first update, of course) then I'm an idiot for not trying it before :) -- Jonny Tyers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Musicpd-dev-team mailing list Musicpd-dev-team@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/musicpd-dev-team
