Actually, this would be a good opportunity to ask ...
Is there any way we can eliminate, or reduce, the "Saving Database ..." pause that occurs every couple of minutes when playing files? It doesn't (usually) pause the music, but does pause the visualization. With Andy's beautiful visualizations running, I can't bear to have those unseemly pauses just about once every song!
If we can't have a setting to eliminate them while music is playing altogether, could we at least have a "Limit Database Maintenance While Playing" type option that reduces these operations to a
vastly reduced frequency? It would be okay with me if this means that we could occasionally lose database information if we close MC quickly after making changes as long as:
a) It is an
option as I mentioned above.
b) We have some way to manually initiate a Save Database operation, or to enable Saving on Exit (which wouldn't help in crash instances, but would help most of the time).
(I should also say that if it is just me that gets these pauses, or if most people don't have as much of an issue and I should just see this as a reason to scrimp and save for an Athlon64 sooner than I intend then let me know.)
