The CPU and memory in the Touch are way slower than a typical server or PC. That is a lot of songs. I've never tried that many during beta testing, but I'm think that may be as expected. The internal Touch server was not intended to replace a full blown SqueezeBoxServer. It was designed for folks who didn't have a lot of music, didn't want to setup a server. 40,000 songs is a lot of songs. Even ten times as long as your real server would not be a surprize to me. All IMHO, Once you are done scanning, you don't have to replicate it often. I think the initial design was for folks with a USB thumb drive to show off a bit of music, or perhaps play music from an iPad or iPhone. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
