MJ8 worked great up to about 85,000 clips though it took awhile to remove missing files. About the time MC9 became available, I was pushing 95,000, and MJ8 had become very slow. MC9 was a great improvement which cut the remove missing files time from 45 minutes to about 5 minutes.
The import files however still takes about 1 hour per hard drive, depending on the drive size.... and now approaching
110,000 clips/mp3's, it too has become slow to respond to any commands, though it does eventually.
Lest anyone think I'm complaining about MC9, Windows Media becomes unusable at about 2500 clips, and Real One at about 20,000 clips. The only real competitor is PhatNoise which I've tested up to about 65,000 clips, when it too becomes slow to respond.
So, I have two questions, and welcome any and all suggestions.
With an 800MHZ Celeron computer, is there any way to improve performance, by adding more memory etc.
Or can I do multiple installs of MC9 to keep the DBase each install handles under 70,000 files or so?
