I have an 8 GB SanDisk Fuze Mp3 player with a 32 GB microSDHC card. A total of 40 GB of storage, full. I've installed Rockbox on the player and can boot into either OS. With the SanDisk firmware when the player is booted up it scans all 40 GB for changes and makes you wait before you can use the player. But Rockbox boots straight into the OS. If you need to re-index the music library you do so manually by going through Settings. And it indexes the library in the background and you can use the player in the meantime. Needless to say, the Rockbox approach is greatly preferred. Why the same wasn't done on the Touch is a mystery. > Additionally, would it be possible to be able to nominate a folder to > scan on start-up. The overriding theme during the development of the Touch's server was to keep it as mind-numbingly simple as possible. With as few user options as they could possibly get away with. Even if it means that many people will be unable to use the server because it's too inflexible. Since its release, very little has changed. The rote advice: If you want more, run a separate server and pretend the internal server doesn't exist. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85984 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
