I am running MC 10.149 on win xp with 256M memory.  I have over 20,000 songs.  All was fine - I could play music, burn music, etc.  But Now I am pushing the limits on this system (it appears)  I recently added bios, lyrics, and cover art for all 20,000+ songs that were found all imbedded in the file header.  Now MC takes 80 seconds to load and plays fuzzy and does not burn cd's properly.
Is this want should be expected?  
I got the impression that the database did not have a stress problem when loading that much data.  
Please help as I don't know if this is a machine malfunction or an MC issue.  
Has anyone else run into this problem?
It is interesting that my free memory goes down to less than 4MB  on occasion.

MC 11's database is much better suited for large amounts of metadata.

You may want to give it a try.

[TXgary]

can i run MC 10.150 along side 11?
I need the ability to interface with my Nomad zen and burn , etc.

[LonWar]

No you can only run 1 version.

[TXgary]

So I can switch back and forth between 11 and 10 by simply saving the database for 11 and for 10.  The files themsellves are unchanged... correct?
Then reinstalll 10 or 11.  
What about the Plugins for nomad.  do they work in 11?  Sorry to keep asking questions, but very concerned.  
I can try it now, but just want to be save, lots of hours into thiis music...

MC 10 can't read a library after it's been converted to an MC 11 library.  Make backups and you're safe.

Zen support will return to MC 11 in a coming build.

For heaven sakes TXgary...get and install more memory! 256 is barely enough to run the OS (operating System) let alone app's with 20000 song databases!
