Title: just how big is your database...
Post by: pipsqueak on February 19, 2004, 01:19:35 am: i read that itunes can handle up to 30,000 music files. that got me thinking - how much can mc take, and who out there has a collection of tunes ridiculously large enough to start testing those limits...

Therefore i want to know if you have a HUGE number of songs in your database.

Ill start the ball rolling: 19460 (but i must have 1,000 duplicates)

any bids...

Post by: jleerigby on February 19, 2004, 02:12:01 am: 23840 MP3s. King Sparta once had a library of 150000 tracks, maybe he still has. JRiver have a copy of it for testing purposes (the library - not the tracks).

Post by: Mastiff on February 19, 2004, 02:22:18 am: I'm around 40K tracks and growing... I've still got around 500-1000 CDs from my old DJ days that aren't yet ripped. I did try to start a pxxing contest about library size once, but the fun was spoiled when the mentioned royal gentleman stepped in and crushed all opposition...

Post by: Deivit on February 19, 2004, 03:30:16 am: Mine is currently 101,547 mp3s and growing daily.

MC 10 works perfect with that size... if only a little slow when changing view schemes that manage the whole library in album thumbnail view. Other than that, no problems so far.

I can send you one of mine if you want... then you could add "shuffle on" to your "continuous play" and play both randomly... imagine how fun that would be!
