Hello I have been using slimcontrol 1.00 for over a week now on a HD2, and I think it is truely brilliant. My previous HD was a bit slow (maybe the cache was on the SD card, I can't remember), but now the fact that I can browse my music library makes it a brilliant tool. I just have one

Hi there There is no upper limit on the number of folders/tracks. Deleting the cache would have been my first guess too. If the folder list is (reproduciably) truncated at the same folder or track I'd say it's caused by some error at that track/folder. How large is the truncated folder

Yes, good post. I have an SB3 and a Boom, running SqueezeCenter on a RedHat server and I'm very happy with it. I haven't moved to 7.4 because 7.3.3 is stable and I don't need the later release. I've also just finished converting my music (CD, MD and cassette) to FLAC after 18 months of SB
